Request
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request the following information:
- Average waiting time for coil fitting (both copper & hormonal) for use as contraception across all sites that provide this service within your area of commission. The preferable time period is 2021 - present, if possible. If not, 2021 to the most recent data available will suffice.
- Longest waiting time for coil fitting (both copper & hormonal) for use as contraception across all sites that provide this service within your area of commission since 2013.
Response
- Average waiting time for coil fitting (both copper & hormonal) for use as contraception across all sites that provide this service within your area of commission. The preferable time period is 2021 - present, if possible. If not, 2021 to the most recent data available will suffice.
Average waiting times have varied from 2-3 weeks.
- Longest waiting time for coil fitting (both copper & hormonal) for use as contraception across all sites that provide this service within your area of commission since 2013.
We do not hold this data going back to 2013. The longest waiting time since the start of the new contract in 2018 is the current waiting time of 6 weeks.
