According to Ministry of Health, as of January 2025, over 77,000 patients have been waiting 4+ months for their first specialist assessment.

Shocking as it is but also reveals the harsh reality.
Due to the high demand of on-time medical care, many have decided to be covered under private medical insurances.

My advice is to make sure you understand the full detail of your insurance cover. Check with an adviser for full comparison (not only on prices but also the range of cover)
