Right, here's an update on the community health services waiting list - that's the one govt is largely ignoring, axing the national objective to cut it last month.
Data to December shows another rise (c2,500) in kids waiting a year or more for help, small fall for adults (c.200)

Properly fund services for the work they are commissioned to do. Invest in workforce expansion /planning and be proactive as opposed to reactive. The only way to cut waiting times is fully staffed services of the right establishment numbers to see pt’s in a timely manner.
