Hi,
I'm from Leeds, but meet up socially with a few Bradford people. The word is Bradford are struggling at the moment, as they have a high incidence of digestive tract cancers to deal with at the moment, so wl surgery, as it's elective is being put back. I do know people that have certainly been on the journey longer than 9 months and still have no date. However, Bradford and Leeds do seem to have an agreement where they use each other or private hospitals if the list gets too old or too long.

Latest update on Bradford is it's a 5 to 6 months wait after being listed. But they may get special funding to switch people to Spire.
