Hello @CyrilR1 and welcome to the online community,

The NHS have some information on their website about hospital waiting times - I’ve linked to it below. There’s a section midway through about how you can compare waiting times at different hospitals which might give you the answer you’re looking for:

Many of our members have had knee replacement surgery, so if you’ve got any questions about what to expect, please do ask.

Hi @CyrilR1

Thanks for your post to the Helpline. The GP may have information which hospitals locally they refer to with shorter waiting times. You might give us a call on our freephone, so we can find out about your situation and try to help you further. If you post on the Living with arthritis forum on the Online Community, you may find useful information and support.

It's worth seeing our information (within the exercise information) about the value of pre-hab exercise in the run up to any surgery.

I do hope we can help further
