This market engagement is an opportunity to understand the IS offer so that we can inspire systems and trusts to work in partnership to achieve elective recovery and enable the ambition of the 10YHP. Diagnostic demand and capacity modelling estimates that 35% of the capacity required between 2026/27 and 2028/29 needs to come from the IS. This equates to an estimated additional 2 million tests and could be achieved through either capacity or productivity initiatives, including digital infrastructure and tools.
