I am advised:
(a)-(c) Detailed information on wait times for non-admitted services is not currently available. There is currently underway a comprehensive, multi-faceted range of Outpatient Reform Projects. These projects include extensive work to improve the quality, consistency and accuracy of outpatient data, including how it is categorised, collected and reported.
