  1. The shortest, longest, 90th percentile, 75th percentile, 25th percentile, mean average, median, and distribution of completed wait times for paediatric services in your health board during each month from January 2019 to present

By ‘paediatric services’ I mean to refer to all services that exist exclusively for under-18s (i.e. this would not include services for all ages which happened to have some child patients).

By ‘distribution’ I mean to ask for a set of time-length categories with a count for each one, done in the same manner as Public Health Scotland here: https://www.opendata.nhs.scot/dataset/stage-of-treatment-waiting-times

This includes waits under four weeks, and categories of four weeks up to 52 weeks after that (4-8 weeks, 8-12 weeks etc.). There should also be a >52 week wait category, if applicable
