NSW Health · Original source

The NSW Government has announced a $17 million funding boost to expedite overdue endoscopy procedures after NSW Health data collection produced preliminary estimates of about 20,000 overdue procedures, with final figures still to be validated. Capacity will be increased starting with the most urgent cases, and work is underway to centrally monitor endoscopy wait times, which are not currently tracked centrally. About 350,000 endoscopies are performed in NSW each year, including 160,000 through NSW Health.
