Question
To ask the Scottish Government what the average waiting time is for a heart scan in each NHS board.
Answer
The specific information requested is not held centrally. Waiting time data is collected by specialism only and not by condition, although most patients requiring a heart scan will be subject to a diagnostic test and are likely to receive their treatment at an outpatient clinic; any waits for these tests should be as short as possible and not exceed six weeks.
