73 week wait between referral and first appointment for oral surgery

People who need oral surgery are facing a wait of almost 18 months between their referral and first outpatient appointment.

Woman wait around a week for colposcopy procedures, while the median wait time for Paediatric Ophthalmology is just two weeks.

However, the figure for oral surgery is 73 weeks, while ear nose and throat referrals take 52 weeks.
