Consultant reporting

I recently was reviewed by a Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon for damage to my lower back.  This review was carried our privately.  How long would be seen to be reasonable for this report to be produced and published back to me?

How long would this have been, should the review had been carried out under the NHS?

Hi there!

There are no set guidelines for reporting though usually hospitals follow 24-48 hours basic reporting, while the final report sent to the patient may take time (around a week or so) for non-emergent cases; and if there are any investigation reports that are pending, it may take longer.
Hope this information is helpful.

Take care!
