Hospital waiting times down 10 per cent

Still room for improvement says Minister

The Island’s Health and Social Care Minister says there’s room for further improvement – despite a 10 per cent reduction in hospital waiting times over a 15 month period.

Outpatient appointments that people were waiting for reduced by more than 750 between February last year and April this year.

Howard Quayle says it’s a step in the right direction but is a work in progress.
