How long is the wait for a flexible sigmoidoscopy (bowel camera test) at New Cross Hospital?
The NHS does not publish flexible sigmoidoscopy waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, which runs New Cross Hospital, and it is the current flexible sigmoidoscopy queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.
