How long is the wait for a rotator cuff surgery at Royal Lancaster Infirmary?
The NHS does not publish waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Royal Lancaster 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 rotator cuff surgery 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 University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust the typical ultrasound wait is 3 weeks, with 16% waiting over six weeks (June 2026).
