It really depends on the patients co-morbilities, however in the last year we have be withessing an average of 6 weeks for a positive diagonsis. i'm not sure what the national average is, would be interested to know how long it is taking for other trusts?

Thats interesting, during COVID we are even higher (more like 4-5 months) but we are back down to around 6 weeks now.
