The ICB has informed us that all patients should have a minimum waiting time of 78 weeks, however due to the restrictions on the number of assessments we are able to book, the wait is likely to be 2 years or more.

The ICB has adopted this approach across NHS and Right to Choose providers to ensure fair and equitable access to services, prioritise patients who have been waiting the longest, use NHS resources consistently, and support a sustainable reduction in waiting times over time.

Referrals continue to be accepted as normal, and patients remain on our active waiting list while the ICB regularly reviews capacity and funding opportunities with the aim of reducing waiting times where possible.
