How long is the wait for a CT scan at Orsett Hospital?

The NHS does not publish scan waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Orsett Hospital, and it is the current CT queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.
