How long is the wait for a flexible sigmoidoscopy (bowel camera test) at City Hospital?
The NHS does not publish flexible sigmoidoscopy 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 flexible sigmoidoscopy queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.

Half of the people waiting for a flexible sigmoidoscopy (bowel camera test) at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust have waited longer than 10 weeks. 67% have been waiting more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should.
