How we know this
NHS DM01 diagnostics data, July 2026.
The whole trust (Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust), a current-queue snapshot, not a prediction.
Wait or Pay is independent and is not the NHS. We show the routes and let you choose. Nothing here is medical advice.
How long will you really wait, and how could you go sooner?
Your free dashboard compares all four paths for your treatment: wait, switch to a faster NHS hospital, part-private, or fully private. It names the faster hospitals near you, shows what going private would cost, and gives you letters ready to send. You can print it or save it as a PDF. Free, and nothing is locked or paid.
