How long is the wait for a carpal tunnel surgery at Pontefract General Infirmary?
The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust, which runs Pontefract General Infirmary, 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. At Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust the typical nerve conduction test wait is 3 weeks, with 0% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
