Reported waiting-time context

This site-level figure weights centre medians by published slots made where available, falling back to equal weights when that value is missing. It is not an official pooled national median.

Regional figures are unweighted averages of reported centre medians and are labelled separately.

None of this is a prediction about you. It's the shape of two million other people's tests - useful for choosing when and where, not for guessing how you'll do.
