How long is the wait for a cystoscopy (bladder camera test) at City Hospital?
The NHS does not publish cystoscopy waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs City Hospital, and it is the current cystoscopy queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.
Updated June 2026 · (the NHS diagnostics waiting-list return)
Half of the people waiting for a cystoscopy (bladder camera test) at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust have waited longer than 2 weeks. 8% have been waiting more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should.
