NHS waiting times
Data through March 2026. NHS source.
Across NHS hospitals in England, the median wait for Gastroenterology Service — the specialty most colonoscopy cases are routed to — is 9 weeks, with 7 in 10 patients seen within the 18-week NHS Constitution target. Important context: colonoscopy waits are published separately in the NHS DM01 diagnostics dataset — the wait below is for the Gastroenterology outpatient appointment, not the scope itself.
