Even a simple MRI to detect if you have cancer is a 3-6 months waittime IF you live in a populated area.
Anectotal : relative had theirs in 2 weeks ( check for potential cancer, but it was urgent ).
Another relative anecdote : urgent MRI ''within 24h'' was 3 days later ( this is not supposed to happen, ever. Had the suspected emergency been the trouble, they could have been dead ).
MRI needed to check an injury that dosen't heal ( x-ray not showing anything ) : prescribed delay, 2 to 4 weeks. Actual delay : 10 months and a half. Enjoy being dissabled and in pain the whole time since your life isn't at risk.
They have totally lost control on waiting lists. Those delays limits are supposed to have legal weight.
They do MRIs even at night when staff / machine is avaliable.
There just isn't enough doctors and machines per-capita because of doctors lobbies, government ''cost controls'', and mass migration.
