Verbatim
“While the average waiting time is not two years, we acknowledge that the wait time is longer than we would like in some instances and we are taking steps to recruit additional surgeons to address this.”
“We are one of the best performing centres in terms of the number of immediate autologous reconstruction operations we do at the time of mastectomy as part of a patients active cancer treatment but regrettably for a particular group of patients who require this type of reconstruction carried out at a later time or for risk prevention reasons we currently have much longer waiting times than we want despite taking a range of actions to try and improve the situation.”
