Hundreds of patients who have waited two years or more have already said they are willing to travel.
Health and Social Care Secretary Sajid Javid said the number of two-year waits had already reduced by two-thirds since January.
With weekend clinics and dedicated surgery hubs, he said NHS staff were making "great progress" in busting the Covid backlogs.There were 22,500 people waiting more than two years for an operation in England in January, but this has fallen by 15,000. Backlogs built up during the Covid pandemic as hospitals treated thousands of people who were ill with the virus, forcing patients with other illnesses to wait much longer than usual for surgery or treatment.
