Request Summary: Fibromyalgia

Request Category: Researcher


Question Number 1: Numbers of people who have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia from 2019 to 2023; How much, in terms of waiting times, did it take to have a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia; Please provide me with a breakdown per gender, year and regions.

Answer To Question 1: Please see the Excel spreadsheet attached containing our response. Please note - we are unable to say how long a diagnosis took to be given as that journey likely begins in primary care before the patient is admitted to hospital and we do not have access to that information for each patient. We have provided the totals for the number of episodes where this diagnosis has been coded in any position. To accompany this answer to question 1 please also see the documents listed below: FOI_7163 - Fibromyalgia FOR ISSUE.xlsx
