2 week urgent referal -what are waiting times like in Wales?

I went back to the gp today to have my lymph nodes looked at again and went over all my symptoms and he agreed that i need a referal as my bloods aren't showing any reason for then to be swollen and some are hard and fixed. I was wondering if anyone in Wales has any idea actual time frames in wales can be different than England

Thank you i called hematology today to see if they had received my referral apparently it had only got to them today and the consultant is looking at the referral either today or tomorrow. The waiting it mentally exhausting x

I'm really sorry to hear that, that must be so hard, do they have to do the ct before starting a treatment plan that must be so stressful for you more waiting, i understand theres delays but with diagnosis such as this, there shouldn't be delays really adds to the struggle your already going through.
I'm from North Wales, but my mum is originally from South Wales merthyr.
