Sleep study NHS waiting times, hospital by hospital
Updated August 2026 · (the NHS diagnostics waiting-list return)
The NHS does not publish scan waiting times for individual hospitals. Each figure below is the current sleep study queue at the NHS trust that runs that hospital: the list as it stands this month, not a prediction. The headline is the median wait; the % is the share who have already waited more than six weeks, against an NHS standard that fewer than 1% should. Ranked shortest first.
