Bunion removal surgery is available through the NHS however the type of surgery they offer is a lot more invasive and requires a considerable amount of downtime from 2-6 weeks. Going through the NHS for bunionectomy surgery can also take a considerable amount of time with many patients waiting months to even be referred from their GP to a surgeon and then even longer to be deemed suitable and in-need of the surgical procedure.
