How long is the wait for an echocardiogram (heart scan) at Bolitho Hospital?
The NHS does not publish echocardiogram waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs Bolitho Hospital, and it is the current echocardiogram 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 an echocardiogram (heart scan) at Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust have waited longer than 7 weeks. 56% have been waiting more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should.
