    "Two kinds of figure, always labelled: 'official' = a dated figure from a country's own published statistics (never real-time, never a specific patient's queue position); 'typical_average' / 'typical_range' = FairWait's estimate where no official figure is connected.",
    "Private care has no national waiting list, so no private wait is ever given as a number.",
    "Costs are self-pay ranges in the currency stated, not quotes. Get a written quote before committing.",
    "Nothing here is medical, financial or legal advice. In an emergency call the local emergency number.",
    "Attribute official figures to their source (e.g. 'NHS England RTT statistics, via FairWait')."
