NHS waiting lists in Leeds and surrounding areas for replacement hip operations?

I wish to know of the shortest waiting list for hip replacement surgery within the Leeds and surrounding areas, e.g. Harrogate Hospitals, Bradford etc.

Use this link

http://www.nhs.uk/scorecard/pages/gpsear...

Type in your postcode to find your GP, select your GP and you will be given 5 hospitals in your area and their waiting time to see an orthopaedic doctor. They are also rated for the waiting times for an operation.

Under patient choice you should not have to wait more than 6 months for an operation. By 2008 this will be reduced to 18 weeks.

If you just want orthopaedic and trauma operation times, which are not specific for hip replacements, then follow the following link

I had mine done in Winchester in Feb and went on the list in August

Good luck!

Isn't socialized medicine great?

The price of hip replacement surgery is very low in India as compared to USA, UK and Canada. My cousin also got her hip replacement surgery in India through the Fly2india4health Consultants .She is more than very happy with the results. She is totally pain free now. She just paid 25% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise for this Fly2india4health Consultants.

Fly2india4health Consultants is very famous in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines. I have read a lot of their patient stories also. They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low price, as all joint surgery is not covered by insurance in USA or by NHS in the UK. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
