What is being counted?
A pathway is one referral-to-treatment record. An ongoing pathway is still open: treatment has not started or the waiting-time clock has not otherwise stopped. One person can have several records.

General Surgery Service: compare NHS waiting-list information
Explore 227 organisations with published records for this service. Check their waiting-list picture, then confirm the right service and referral route for you.
What does this say about the wait for treatment?
In July 2026, the published proportion already waiting 18 weeks or less ranged from 0% to 100% across 227 reporting providers.
A pathway is a referral-to-treatment record. One person may have several records. They measure time already spent waiting, not how much longer you will wait. Ask the service about your clinical priority, next appointment and treatment date.
Range of provider percentages for the latest common reporting period shown here; not a patient-weighted national average or a ranking. Check each provider’s number of eligible records, particularly small groups.

What do these numbers tell me?
They show pressure on a service’s waiting list at a past reporting date. Use them to prepare questions when discussing your options.
How long have they already waited?
For example, 92.3% of 13 eligible records means about 12 had waited 18 weeks or less so far. Those records are still open. It does not mean 12 people were treated within 18 weeks.
What should I ask next?
Ask which team and location would handle your referral, whether the service is appropriate for you, and its current expected wait. A trust’s figures may cover several hospitals or clinics.
Understand your referral optionsWhat to check before choosing
- Confirm that the provider currently offers the exact service, procedure or test you need.
- Check the referral route, the place you would attend and whether the service is NHS-funded for your referral.
- Ask how published waiting-list figures relate to your referral and clinical priority.
- Consider repeat journeys and accessibility alongside the service evidence.
