Subject: Official Information request - Average Wait Times of Outpatient
Appointments
 

Dear Ministry of Health

I would like to request the longest, shortest, median and average wait
times for outpatient- patients (referred by GPs to see a specialist (First
appointment) at Wellington hospital over the last 12 months). Please
provide the wait times data split by each specialty eg.your response
should tell the wait times specifically for each specialty like number of
days to see a Cardiologist or urologist or gynecologist etc.

If the Data exists please additionally provide the wait-times for GP
referrals to the specialists at a national level as well, not just for
wellington hospital.

Essentially updated and extended upon data to what was previously provided
in this OIA

Please let me know if anything requires clarification.

Yours faithfully,
Rob
