HI Shelia, after seeing my consultant I hac CT and MRI scans. I had to wait 7 days and had them all done at the same time. I don't know if this waiting timeis the same throughout the country. The waiting time will probably depend on the amount of scans that are on the list also the seriousness of your need.
I hope all is well after the scans, keep us informed
Cheers Mauric
