“As a paediatrician, I'm very concerned about what these persistent waits mean for our children and their future. Many treatments need to be given by a specific age or developmental stage to prevent long-lasting complications, and for many children these long waits mean we miss crucial chances to intervene in time.”
What Dr Ronny Cheung has said
“Chronic underinvestment and a lack of focus on children's health and services have meant that staff are unable to meet increasing demand. Long waits are unacceptable for any patient, but for children and young people the waits can be catastrophic.”
