Methodology note

NHS England publishes one combined waiting time for the whole Plastic Surgery Service specialty — that figure rolls up skin grafts / scar revision with every other condition routed through the same outpatient department. The wait for skin grafts / scar revision specifically may be shorter or longer than the specialty median at any given trust. We surface this caveat on every comparison.

This wait covers all of Plastic Surgery Service — the wait for Skin grafts / scar revision specifically may differ. Ask your GP for the procedure-specific timeline. Why this matters →
