Elective Surgery and Outpatient Reporting
This page contains reports which provide information about the number of persons on elective surgery wait lists (ESWLs) that are maintained by public hospitals in Western Australia (WA).
Only the three most recent ESWL reports are listed, as each report contains a historical breakdown for monthly data published in earlier reports. Older published monthly reports have been archived and may be retrieved on request. As quarterly reporting has been introduced recently, the last six published reports are listed on the website.

The reports include details of admissions from wait lists according to specialty and procedure broken down by individual public hospitals in the Perth metropolitan area and for WA Country Health Service (WACHS) region as a whole.
