Waiting Lists
CUH has both Out-Patient and In-Patient waiting lists
When a patient is referred to a consultant for an opinion they are either issued with an out-patient appointment directly or placed on an Out-Patients Waiting List to be given an appointment at a future date. Patients placed on waiting lists are given appointments either on the basis of medical priority or the patients longest on the waiting lists are given appointments first.
In relation to In-Patient Waiting Lists once a patient is seen at a clinic and a consultant decides he/she needs to be admitted, either for overnight or day case treatment, their name is placed on a waiting list and again given admission dates directly where possible or else to be given an admission date at a future date on the basis of medical priority and length of time on waiting list.
