294 hospitals with a published wait, plus 62 without. Each figure is how long half of patients wait for the whole General Surgery specialty at the trust that runs the hospital, from GP referral to the start of treatment — the NHS does not publish a wait for gallbladder removal on its own. One hospital per trust for now; larger trusts run several.
