New figures reveal patients faced assessment times exceeding targets too
Patients at Noble’s Hospital’s Emergency Department faced average wait times of more than five hours last month, according to figures released by the health minister.
The average time from arrival to a preliminary assessment was 25 minutes, exceeding the 15-minute target.
The system operates with five priority levels, each with a specific target waiting time.
Claire Christian says a shortage of available beds becomes a problem when the hospital is busy:
