The makeup of the waiting list and the method in which the stats are recorded has changed over time.

Statistics have been recorded in this current format and detail level since 2004.

However, the Department does keep total waiting list figures dating back over 20 years. The previous 10 years waiting list figures are detailed below

The waiting list figures are reported on an annual basis within the States Annual Performance Report. The report for 2009 will, it is understood, be produced shortly. The waiting list data included shows the continuous annual waiting list figures since 2004.

The 2010 year end waiting list figures will similarly be reported in the 2010 Annual Performance Report which will be published in 2011.
