Elective Services Fourth Quarterly ReportDate of publication: December 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.
