More people having to wait longer on hospital outpatient appointments - what can be done about our waiting lists?

More people are having to wait longer on a hospital outpatient appointment in Northern Ireland. In just three months the figure has increased by 6,895. More than two thirds of patients were waiting more than nine weeks, in spite of targets stating that at least 50% of patients should wait no longer that.
