A full list of all trusts along with the number of hip and knee replacement procedures and the average waiting time is attached.

The data shows the number of procedures between the period April 2018 until March 2019.

It should be noted the data does not show individual patients as the same person may have been admitted into a National Health Service hospital on more than one occasion.
