How long is the wait for a gastroscopy (stomach camera test) at Royal Preston Hospital?
The NHS does not publish gastroscopy waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs Royal Preston Hospital, and it is the current gastroscopy queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.

Half of the people waiting for a gastroscopy (stomach camera test) at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust have waited longer than 1 weeks. 1% have been waiting more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should.
