Surgery Wait Times
What's the data showing?
Length of wait times for a wide variety of surgeries, identifying number of cases on the waiting list, and broken down by health authority, hospital, and individual surgeon.
Detailed, Meaningful Data Available
While the data isn't entirely complete, and does lack some context for interpretation, overall this site is a remarkable example of how health data should be made available to the public.
This is a model for what should be done for the many areas of health care, noted on this site and elsewhere, who publish either no data or communicate misleading information. So why is it only done for surgery?
