How long is the wait for a carpal tunnel surgery at Countess of Chester Hospital?
The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Countess of Chester Hospital, and it is the wait that applies to you here.
Updated June 2026 · (Referral to Treatment — the NHS wait-time framework)
This is how long 8 in 10 patients wait for the whole Trauma & Orthopaedics specialty at this trust, from GP referral to the start of treatment — the NHS does not publish a wait for carpal tunnel surgery on its own.
Before treatment: the scan wait too
A nerve conduction test is a separate NHS queue from the treatment wait above, and it comes first. Countess of Chester Hospital NHS Foundation Trust does not report its nerve conduction test waiting times to NHS England, so there's no scan wait to show for this hospital.
