Freedom of Information Data

The NHS DVT
Waiting Time Crisis

Data obtained via Freedom of Information requests reveals how long patients wait for DVT diagnosis across NHS Trusts. Every undiagnosed DVT risks pulmonary embolism — a potentially fatal complication.

Note: Some discrepancies exist due to inconsistent data provided by NHS Trusts in response to FOI requests. We report the data as provided by each NHS Trust.

NHS Trust data incorrect or incomplete? Data incorrect or incomplete? Contact us with the subject line FOI Correction and we'll update the record.
