NHS England figures, . Checked for new figures . About the data.
Each hospital sets its own prices and most publish guide prices for common treatments. Where a hospital's operator has a price page, the "See their prices" link above goes to it. We do not copy prices here: a quote in writing from the hospital, covering the consultation, tests, treatment and follow-up, is the only figure to rely on.
The figures on this page are the NHS waits each independent hospital reports to NHS England, so you can compare them with your nearest NHS hospital before deciding. Many independent hospitals treat NHS patients free under the right to choose.
Contact the hospital directly and ask for a fixed-price, all-inclusive quote in writing for the consultation, any tests, the treatment and follow-up. Most groups publish guide prices on their own websites; the links on this page go there.
No. You can have a private consultation or scan and then return to the NHS for treatment, or be referred back to the NHS by the private consultant. You cannot mix NHS and private care within a single episode of treatment.
