Obviously, the commitment of an average maximum wait of three months that the minister has made has been informed by data from the Department of Health and Aged Care and has to be seen in conjunction with the additional places and additional funding that is going in. Essentially, rolling out those additional packages and having certainty over those will mean that we are able to reach that average maximum wait time of three months.
