There is a significant issue arising with colonoscopy waiting lists. Do we have a figure on how long we are waiting for results? The private sector seems to have come under serious pressure due to this as well. I am informed the waiting list in the private sector is 32 weeks. The waiting list for a colonoscopy in the public sector is 52 weeks, with the results taking weeks and months after that. I would like a briefing note on what the issue is, if that could follow on.
