Patients are facing eight month wait for hip operations 

Patients are facing eight month wait for hip operations Patients are having to wait more than eight months in agony for hip and knee replacements, figures reveal.

Waiting times have soared by 40 per cent in four years as the NHS struggles with growing demand.

Many needing the operations are in such severe pain they cannot walk short distances or sleep at night.

Figures obtained through Freedom of Information requests show the average wait for a hip replacement is now four and a half months. The Daily Mail
