This situation has occurred for a number of years and certainly prior to 2001. A similar situation applies to Christmas and New Year Holiday periods. Joondalup Health Campus records do not indicate that theatres were not utilised other than in the circumstances described above prior to 2001. The type of public surgery might change according to the type of surgery funded; for example, a focus on the longest waiting patients, as happened in the three months to June 1999. See table attached.
