Michael MHK Alf Cannan says Department of Health initiatives to reduce waiting lists have been little more than 'scraping the edge' of the problem so far.
He was less than impressed with Health Minister David Anderson's response to his question on the matter in Tynwald.
Mr Anderson had told Mr Cannan an appontments bureau had been set up to manage them centrally, text alert reminders were being sent out, and the department was moving towards an opt-in system for appointments, among other things.
Mr Cannan said that wasn't good enough, as far as he was concerned:
