Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust
This trust runs Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital. NHS England publishes its figures for the trust as a whole, not for each hospital.
August 2026
9,306 people were waiting to start treatment at the end of the month, counted from the day their referral was received.
People whose wait ended this month
- 469 admitted for treatment, after a typical wait of 16 weeks
- 1,610 treated or discharged without admission, after 7 weeks
The clock starts when the hospital receives the referral and stops when treatment starts or the patient is discharged. People still waiting have not finished their wait, so their final wait will be longer than shown.

Independent providers treat NHS-funded patients for a narrower range of conditions, so waits are not directly comparable with a hospital trust.
Clinics and centres
Named places you may know better than the specialty. Each has its own page for logged waits.
No waits logged yet
Figures appear here once 10 people have logged a wait in the last 90 days. Official figures stop the clock at first treatment. We also count waits for tests, results and follow-up appointments, and how often the hospital cancelled.
