How long is the wait for an MRI scan at Queen Elizabeth Hospital?
The NHS does not publish scan waiting times for individual hospitals. This figure is for Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, which runs Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and it is the current MRI queue that applies to you here — the list as it stands this month, not a prediction.
