Where this data comes from
Wait times shown here are sourced from publicly available information published by Southern Health & Social Care Trust.

Where a trust does not publish waiting times directly, we may source data from third-party applications or services that provide equivalent publicly available information. Data was last checked at 2:36am on 28 Jul 2026.
