Elbow Replacement Waits - FOI Response Register

I would like to ask the following questions:

1. In this health board, of those patients seen, what was the average waiting time for an elbow replacement in the financial year 2021/22? Please also provide the data for 2022/23 so far, as well as 2020/21, 2019/20, 2018/19 and 2017/18.

NHS Shetland does not perform these procedures. NHS Shetland patients who require them would be referred on to another Health Board, generally NHS Grampian. The details of patients' waiting times are held at those other Boards. An FOI request to NHS Grampian can be submitted at the following address: gram.foi@nhs.scot

2. In this health board, of those patients seen, what was the longest waiting time for an elbow replacement in the financial year 2021/22? Please also provide the data for 2022/23 so far, as well as 2020/21, 2019/20, 2018/19 and 2017/18.
