The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, which runs Lister Hospital, and it is the wait that applies to you here.

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 knee replacement on its own.
