What changed in our datasets

We hold three datasets, and each one is published as frozen, dated editions that we never rewrite. When a new edition arrives we keep the old one at its own address and derive the difference. This page is that difference in one place, newest first, so you can see exactly what moved, when, and which published file it came from.

Every figure behind these entries is an official published value, kept with its source, its edition and the date we read it. None of it is a prediction, and none of it describes any individual case.

  1. Tribunals statistics

    January to March 2026 edition added

    Tribunals statistics quarterly: January to March 2026, published 11 June 2026 and read by us on 4 September 2026. The quarter is marked provisional in the published tables. Clearance times are published averages for the tribunal, never a statement about one appeal.

  2. Right to Choose register

    Register sweep dated 1 August 2026

    6 recorded status changes across integrated care boards. 34 rows verified for the first time, which is a row we started checking rather than a row that moved.

  3. NHS England waiting times

    May 2026 edition added

    Compared with the April 2026 edition, 560 published median values differ and 1683 other published values differ. NHS England restates figures as well as adding months, so a difference can be a restatement rather than a movement in a queue.

How this page is built

Editions are append-only. Once an edition is published at its dated address we do not edit it, because it is the record of what the source said on that date. A revision from the publisher becomes a new edition, and the difference between the two is derived by comparing the files rather than by us restating anything.

For the Right to Choose register, a row verified for the first time is reported separately from a row that changed, because the only earlier entry we held was a placeholder saying we had not checked it yet. For the NHS England waiting times, a differing value can be a restatement by the publisher rather than a movement in a queue, and NHS trusts and independent-sector providers are published on separate sheets that are not comparable with one another. For the tribunals statistics, band wording is kept exactly as printed and provisional markers travel with the quarter.
