Victorian dental waiting list data updated

Waiting times for public dental care as at June 2007 were recently updated at the Your Hospitals website, published by the Department of Human Services.

The VOHA website has now collated all of the new data, and provided summaries and graphs which provide a much clearer picture of trends and the overall situation.

While there have been improvements at many clinics, the average waiting time across the State remains at just over 23 months, and patients in some areas still experience waiting times of 4 to 5 years.
