Health Secretary Steve Barclay invites Welsh and Scottish ministers to discuss waiting lists.
Mr Barclay, who is responsible for the NHS in England, said the proposed talks would be aimed at "building on the current arrangements for cross-border healthcare".
According to the statistics there were 748,395 "patient pathways" waiting for hospital treatment in May. "I want to support collaboration between our nations to share best practices, improve transparency and provide better accountability for patients". But Wes Streeting, UK Labour's shadow health secretary, said: "The only advice the Tories are qualified to offer is how to wreck the NHS and cause the biggest strikes in its history."
