About the assessment wait

If the questionnaires are received later, or there are instructions from your ICB, the time you wait may increase.”

Waits by NHS area

Some NHS areas have a separate reported wait because they cap Right to Choose or have a local contract. In other areas, Clinical Partners's usual wait applies.
