The new webpage will allow patients to check the average waiting times for a first appointment
The Department of Health has launched a new online tracking system to see how long waits are for specialist hospital appointments.
The page, known as My Waiting Times NI, has been developed in order to improve and centralise information that is already publicly available to patients.It will be expanded over time to also provide the latest waiting time information for procedures, treatment and diagnostics.A Department of Health spokesperson said: “Northern Ireland’s waiting lists are a result of years of sustained pressure with demand for care and treatment outstripping hospital capacity.
“Additional funding has been made available in recent years to support a range of waiting list initiatives and we were beginning to see some stabilisation of the situation. However the current budget deficit means that this additional investment will be at a lower level this year. Regrettably, this will have an impact on waiting times.
