323 hospitals with a published wait, plus 33 without. Each figure is how long 8 in 10 patients wait for the whole Trauma & Orthopaedics specialty at the trust that runs the hospital, from GP referral to the start of treatment — the NHS does not publish a wait for carpal tunnel surgery on its own. One hospital per trust for now; larger trusts run several.
