How long is the wait for a meniscus surgery at Bolitho Hospital?
The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs Bolitho 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 meniscus surgery on its own.
Before treatment: the scan wait too
An MRI scan is a separate NHS queue from the treatment wait above, and it comes first. At Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust the typical MRI wait is 3 weeks, with 5% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
