New study asks people how they’ve been affected by waiting for surgery in Somerset As the number of patients waiting for surgery continues to grow, Healthwatch Somerset is asking people about their experiences of being referred for surgery in Somerset and how they have been affected by waiting times. At the end of May 2021, 4,806 patients in Somerset had been waiting 40 or more weeks for non-urgent treatment according to NHS Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group. The current NHS waiting time target is a maximum of 18 weeks from referral to treatment. Since March 2020, many routine and specialist treatments have had to be cancelled or rearranged due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and this has affected waiting times for surgery.
