How Long is the Wait for Cataract Surgery?

An MHK is seeking answers on how long the wait is for patients needing cataract surgery.

Douglas East MHK Joney Faragher has tabled a question for answer by Health Minister Claire Christian in the House of Keys tomorrow (November 10.)

She will ask how many patients, who have had an initial consultation or assessment, are waiting for cataract surgery.

Faragher will also ask how many of those patients have been waiting more than 12 months.

In addition, she wants to know: “What consideration, if any, has been given to engaging external contractors and, if such a proposal was rejected, why.”
