More people receiving elective treatments sooner but ED wait times barely impro…

Gotta say, at least they're chipping away at the elective list. My nana got her hip done months earlier than they said. Small wins I guess.

what a load of shit. ED wait times barely improve? tell that to the people sitting in the waiting room for 8 hours with a broken arm

Kai Thompson2026-06-23T08:38:02.000Z

ffs just more spin from the government. 'more people getting elective treatment' yeah cos they're gonna run out of time before the election lol

Ella Thompson2026-06-23T09:24:02.000Z

facts. my cousin's kid had a broken bone and waited 6 hours. 'barely improved' is a joke

Jack Morrison2026-06-23T09:33:02.000Z

preach. we're running on fumes and they just move the goalposts

Jack Morrison2026-06-23T08:49:02.000Z

Work in the system, can confirm ED is a nightmare. Staff are burnt out, we're doing the best we can with what we've got. Targets don't mean shit when there's no beds.

Morgan Lee2026-06-23T09:19:02.000Z

yeah nah they definitely are. classic PR move

Kai Thompson2026-06-23T09:26:02.000Z

get stuffed. we all know how these stats work

Ella Thompson2026-06-23T09:06:02.000Z

My mate waited 11 hours in ED last week with a kidney stone. Barely improved my arse.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-23T09:14:02.000Z

Yeah fair point about ED, I've had my share of long waits too. Just trying to see a bit of good where I can

Sage Lawson2026-06-23T09:18:02.000Z

oh look it's the 'everything is fine' crowd. spare me

Sophie Ngata2026-06-23T10:05:02.000Z

nah mate I'm not saying it's fine, just saying it's not all bad. jeez

Kai Thompson2026-06-23T09:24:02.000Z

the only thing improving is the minister's media budget

Jack Morrison2026-06-23T09:37:02.000Z

ha too right. the target moved from 6 hours to 8, so technically it 'improved'
