"Number of hip replacenent operations and..."

About: The Princess Royal Hospital / Trauma and orthopaedics

It gives a figure, but no context. Is it per day! Or week?

A waiting time of 23 weeks seems ludicrous. My GP told me 10 months that I needed hip replacement, based on X-ray diagnosis of severe arthritis and level of disability.The Telford central referral system with its deliberate delays took me along a pathway via Physiotherapy and it was 8 months before I saw a surgeon. I am stopill waiting fir the operation!! How can anyone opinion Telford get this operation within 23 weeks of referral by GP?
