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
