    † For this quarter, when interpreting the performance indicators for Category 3 patients for this hospital, it should be noted that this hospital has a large percentage of patients undergoing a staged procedure after a clinically appropriate period of time (eg check cystoscopy or scheduled in vitro fertilisation). As patients cannot have their procedure until after the clinically appropriate period of time, and typically undergo the procedure on or close to this scheduled date, these patients have a very short recorded wait time.

    * Suppressed due to small numbers and to protect privacy. Relevant graphs are also suppressed.1. Excludes the total number of days the patient was coded as ‘not ready for care’.2. This is the number of days it took for half of the patients who received elective surgery during the period to be admitted and receive their surgery.

    The other half took longer than the median to be admitted for surgery.Note: All percentages rounded to whole numbers and therefore percentages may not add to 100 per cent. Sources: Waiting List Collection On-line System, NSW Health. Data extracted 13 October 2010.

    † For this quarter, when interpreting the performance indicators for Category 3 patients for this hospital, it should be noted that this hospital has a large percentage of patients undergoing a staged procedure after a clinically appropriate period of time (eg check cystoscopy or scheduled in vitro fertilisation). As patients cannot have their procedure until after the clinically appropriate period of time, and typically undergo the procedure on or close to this scheduled date, these patients have a very short recorded wait time.

    * Suppressed due to small numbers and to protect privacy. Relevant graphs are also suppressed.1. Excludes the total number of days the patient was coded as ‘not ready for care’.2. This is the number of days it took for half of the patients who received elective surgery during the period to be admitted and receive their surgery.

    The other half took longer than the median to be admitted for surgery.Note: All percentages rounded to whole numbers and therefore percentages may not add to 100 per cent. Sources: Waiting List Collection On-line System, NSW Health. Data extracted 13 October 2010.

    † For this quarter, when interpreting the performance indicators for Category 3 patients for this hospital, it should be noted that this hospital has a large percentage of patients undergoing a staged procedure after a clinically appropriate period of time (eg check cystoscopy or scheduled in vitro fertilisation). As patients cannot have their procedure until after the clinically appropriate period of time, and typically undergo the procedure on or close to this scheduled date, these patients have a very short recorded wait time.

    * Suppressed due to small numbers and to protect privacy. Relevant graphs are also suppressed.1. Excludes the total number of days the patient was coded as ‘not ready for care’.2. This is the number of days it took for half of the patients who received elective surgery during the period to be admitted and receive their surgery.

    The other half took longer than the median to be admitted for surgery.Note: All percentages rounded to whole numbers and therefore percentages may not add to 100 per cent. Sources: Waiting List Collection On-line System, NSW Health. Data extracted 13 October 2010.

    † For this quarter, when interpreting the performance indicators for Category 3 patients for this hospital, it should be noted that this hospital has a large percentage of patients undergoing a staged procedure after a clinically appropriate period of time (eg check cystoscopy or scheduled in vitro fertilisation). As patients cannot have their procedure until after the clinically appropriate period of time, and typically undergo the procedure on or close to this scheduled date, these patients have a very short recorded wait time.

    † For this quarter, when interpreting the performance indicators for Category 3 patients for this hospital, it should be noted that this hospital has a large percentage of patients undergoing a staged procedure after a clinically appropriate period of time (eg check cystoscopy or scheduled in vitro fertilisation). As patients cannot have their procedure until after the clinically appropriate period of time, and typically undergo the procedure on or close to this scheduled date, these patients have a very short recorded wait time.
