HEALTH SERVICES, WAITING TIMES

17 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (1 June 2010).

1. How many patients have been on the waiting list to receive endoscopy procedures at each major South Australian public hospital in each year since 1999?

2. How many people were on the specialist outpatient appointments list for those waiting for endoscopic procedures at each major South Australian public hospital in each year since 1999?

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Ageing, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts): I am advised:

The Department does not collect outpatient waiting list data on how many patients have been on the waiting list for endoscopy procedures because this type of outpatient is currently reported as aggregated data by clinical specialty.
