Other issues caveats:![]() | Waiting times are calculated by jurisdictions by subtracting the listing date for care from the removal date, minus any days the patient was waiting with a less urgent clinical urgency category than their clinical urgency category at removal and any not ready for care days that occurred while the patient was listed with the urgency category at removal. There are inconsistencies in application of urgency categories between and within states and territories which impact on the comparability of results. |
