Women and people with cervixes are now waiting up to 60 weeks to receive the vital tests
The in-depth examination, known as a colposcopy, is required when the human papillomavirus is discovered during routine cervical screenings.
The Glasgow Times contacted several private hospital facilities to enquire about pricing with costs ranging from £150 for an initial consultation up to £900 for the colposcopy itself. “However, 52 weeks is a long time to wait and the mental and emotional impact of uncertainty must be considered. That burden can take a huge toll on the women waiting for a colposcopy appointment and should not be underestimated. We would urge that the NHSGGC closely monitors and reports the situation and ensures a swift return to national timeframes for colposcopy services.
