6199 - PATIENT WAITING TIMES IN THE HUNTER

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Health, and Minister for Medical Research

What will the Minister do to reduce waiting times, which have doubled since last year, for patients in the Hunter?
Answer -

I am advised:

NSW Health is working towards all patients being treated within their clinical priority timeframes.

John Hunter Hospital recorded a significant improvement in patients receiving their elective surgeries within clinically-recommended timeframes. In April to June 2014, 95 percent of patients were treated within clinically-recommended timeframes, a four percent improvement on the same quarter last year.
