Updated June 2026 · (Referral to Treatment — the NHS wait-time framework)
This is how long half of patients wait for the whole General Surgery specialty at this trust, from GP referral to the start of treatment — the NHS does not publish a wait for gallbladder removal on its own.
Before treatment: the scan wait too
An ultrasound scan is a separate NHS queue from the treatment wait above, and it comes first. At Airedale NHS Foundation Trust the typical ultrasound wait is 2 weeks, with 1% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
