How long is the wait for an echocardiogram (heart scan) at Princess Royal Hospital?
The NHS does not publish echocardiogram waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust, which runs Princess Royal Hospital, and it is the current echocardiogram queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.

Half of the people waiting for an echocardiogram (heart scan) at The Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust have waited longer than 3 weeks. 23% have been waiting more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should.
