Health—waiting times
(Question No 136)
Mr Cain asked the Minister for Health, upon notice, on 1 April 2021:

Ms Stephen-Smith: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
a) Optical procedures is a generic term that covers multiple procedures which are undertaken across a broad range of settings including at a patient’s bedside, in a clinic or in surgery. Resultantly, there is not a specific waiting list.
The ACT Public Health System does provide a number of ophthalmic services covering eye trauma to cataract surgery.
