I am curious to know, and I imagine parents are as well, about the prioritisation system for the waiting lists for both surgery and outpatient appointments. Is there potential for better streamlining of those waiting lists? Parents do not know how long the waiting list is for one surgeon compared with that for another and there seems to be no movement between waiting lists. Is there potential for a clearer prioritisation system, with more transparency regarding individual surgeons' waiting lists?
