Questions people ask

How long is the NHS waiting list for general surgery?

It depends on the hospital. In August 2026, at a typical hospital half of the people treated for general surgery had waited under 13 weeks. The shortest treated wait in England was at The Princess Alexandra, where half were treated within 2 weeks. The table above covers every provider with figures.

Is the general surgery waiting list getting shorter?

Every hospital page for general surgery on this site has a trend chart covering up to 24 months of NHS England figures, so you can see whether the wait at that hospital is rising or falling. National figures are updated about two months after each month ends.

What does general surgery cover?

General surgery: hernias, gallbladder, bowel surgery. NHS England collects waiting times by specialty, not by operation, so a knee replacement and a fracture clinic appointment sit in the same figure.
