Hi everyone,

I received a letter today to confirm that I have been added to the waiting list for my right hip replacement πŸ˜ƒ

It states that I qualify for the Treatment Time Guarantee.

Does this mean I will definitely have the treatment within twelve weeks time or could it still be after then?

Thanks

Billy

    Hi @Billy85 I think different areas and health boards have different treatment times - target dates. And it could depend if you have been added as a routine or urgent referral. Are there any contact numbers or email contacts on the letter? If so you could contact them to query. Hope this helps
