Question
To ask the Scottish Government what the average waiting time is for an appointment at the South West Scotland Breast Screening Clinic from the point of referral by a GP.
Answer
The South West Scotland Breast Screening Clinic does not accept GP referrals. Patients are referred to the clinic through the national screening programme, therefore this data is not available. The clinic does track the waiting time from initial screening to assessment. In May, the wait to assessment was 100% by week 3.
