My neighbour in Swansea informs me that she either has to wait 5 years or go private and pay £15K. She's in pain and would like to be walking again so she's paying. |  |

I've lost count of the number of people who I've spoken to over the past few years including relatives who have been forced to fork out these sort of sums for a private hip replacement after being put on 3 or 4 year waiting lists in Wales.
They were in so much pain that they felt that they had no choice including in some cases cashing in part pensions to pay for the treatment.
Never mind, as long as we've got loads of cash to dish out £14 billion plus in foreign aid every year to the rest of the world as well as treating all those newcomers to these shores who've never contributed a penny to the NHS thats the main thing I suppose. [Post edited 15 Dec 2022 12:56]

I work in the industry, my suggestion would be move to England who are creating orthopaedic super centres.
A similar proposal put forward by Welsh surgeons was rejected by the Welsh assembly. |  | | |

Yet my mate in Hereford who lives 200 yards from the hospital has been waiting 2.5 years and still no sign of it. |  |

That's the state of the NHS atm, I've heard of a few people dying in their 70s whilst waiting for treatment, this government does not give a flying f@ck for the elderly, they are a drain even though the vast percentage have paid their ni contributions and taxes, it's a disgrace. |  | | |

Hopefully I'm not in the minority but in past month I have has an MRI , CT and a Pet Scan , all cancer related so maybe that part of the service can still provide a important service to those who need it , I sincerely hope so | |

I had my knee replaced in Lithuania in 2019 and since then my wife has had two hip replacements done there within a year of each other. Totally brilliant experience 1000% recommended and less than half the cost that's being quoted here. | | | |

It can't be a surprise surely? Remember I had waited 5 years and 3 months when I finally gt my new hip in June 2020. We'd had covid and they were saying back then 5 years so my guess would be that 7 years is a more accurate prediction! | |

Hope all is well now.
I had a similar experience was waiting nearly 2 years for a cataract operation I was basically blind in my left eye.
I rang the waiting list line told them I was blind now in my eye and would have to go on the sick within 3 days I had a letter to go in .
Did the same for my hernia saying it would put me on the sick again letter received within days had both done within two weeks.
Work where happy only one spell of sickness.
My Dad needed operation we contacted our local AM job done within months |  | | |

Me too.
I've had six scans in all and the full radio therapy treatment. The care,kindness and efficiency that I've received from the NHS is second to none.
It's a shame that the NHS is struggling. We are so lucky in this country to have it. |  | | |
