Elective Services Third Quarterly Report 2000/01

Date of publication: August 2001

In the past, many patients seeking elective services were placed on waiting lists where some remained without a plan of care, a responsible clinician, or a date at which their condition would be reassessed.

To improve this situation, the Government has set the following national minimum standards for elective services:

  • a maximum waiting time of six months for first specialist assessment; and
  • that as part of the assessment process, patients are given certainty of treatment status and a plan of care.

The Elective Services Third Quarterly Report for 2000/01 reports on progress towards meeting these expections in the period 1 January 2001 to 31 March 2001.
