AB  - This report finds that NSW public hospitals are treating patients within  national clinical timeframes, however increased operations will be  required as targets increase and demand grows.
Summary:
“Thousands more people could be operated on in the NSW public health system if operating theatres ran more efficiently,” said Mr Achterstraat. “Waiting times for elective surgery will continue to increase if NSW Health does not improve its management of operating theatres,” he added.
