Methodology note

NHS England publishes one combined waiting time for the whole Neurosurgical Service specialty — that figure rolls up spinal surgery with every other condition routed through the same outpatient department. The wait for spinal surgery 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 Neurosurgical Service — the wait for Spinal surgery specifically may differ. Ask your GP for the procedure-specific timeline. Why this matters →
