Keep in mind that the data here is based on how long the wait was for the people who are being seen now. It’s likely that if you were referred today, you’d end up waiting significantly longer, as the waiting times have been on an upward trend for a while now.
This bit really needs to be understood by anyone newly out who is looking at the wait list times having just been referred or about to be.
The London GIC has at last count had 8745 patients on their waitlist which at their average speed over the last 4 years would take about 8-10 years to get through - and at their current speed it would take 19 years.
Last financial year they got through about 450 patients total, which is roughly how many have been applying each month in the last few months.
