Does anyone know how long is
The waiting time for hip replacement op ? ( we live in the West Midlands )

I'm in the W Midlands, too, Kiki. I think the waiting time is a maximum of 13 weeks but bear in mind that this doesn't start until you have had your first appointment with the consultant, which may be some time after your GP has agreed to refer you.
