What is the difference between Long wait Referrals and the Longest Wait (BHSCT)?

Long Wait Patients are the number of patients that have waited longer than their target treatment date. Longest Wait refers to a single patient that has waited the longest time for their treatment date. Once they are seen or removed from the list the next patient who has waited the longest time will then be captured.
