How long is the wait for a flexible sigmoidoscopy (bowel camera test) at West Cornwall Hospital?
The NHS does not publish flexible sigmoidoscopy waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs West Cornwall Hospital, and it is the current flexible sigmoidoscopy 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 flexible sigmoidoscopy (bowel camera test) at Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust have waited longer than 2 weeks. 3% have been waiting more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should.
