ENT waiting list

Posted By ni1977_contributor

"ENT waiting list"

About: South Tyrone Hospital / Ear, Nose & Throat

(as the patient),

I am on the waiting list for an ENT procedure - (non cosmetic) septoplasty surgery needed - my sleep has been quite bad and getting worse since 2018 with this issue - in the day times is also continuous issue.

It is very hard to get any information about waiting lists - I feel like I am being forced to pay for the procedure myself as it will be coming up to 6 years.

I have done my bit by donating a Kidney (living donor)  - but feel very let down at the moment.

Thank you for your query.

The average waiting times for each Trust is published on the Department of Health (DOH) website; I have attached the web link for your convenience below.

I do apologise for the significant wait and the stress this is causing you
