Dermatology waits across Scotland

Every health board ranked by median wait, shortest first. These count how long people currently on the list have waited so far, for treatment once they have been listed for it.

Boards marked “only n patients” rest on fewer than 30 people, which is too few for a meaningful median — a small board near the top of this table is usually a statistical artefact rather than a fast service. Boards with no published figure are listed last.

You can’t simply pick a board. Scotland has no equivalent of England’s Right to Choose. Where you’re referred is a matter for your GP — though it’s worth asking, since smaller boards do sometimes refer patients elsewhere for a specialty rather than running their own list.
