How long is the wait for a bone density scan (DEXA) at Welland Hospital?

The NHS does not publish bone density scan waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs Welland Hospital, and it is the current bone density scan queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.
