Projections for 2022 show that over 1.5 million patients will be added to active waiting lists this year.

These are:
- Cataracts

- Hip replacements
- Knee replacements
- Skin lesions (General Surgery and Plastic Surgery)
- Varicose Veins
- Angiograms
- Tonsillectomies
- Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

The 2022 Waiting List Action Plan builds on the short-term Waiting List Action Plan that ran from September to December last year and delivered a 5 percent reduction in waiting lists, during that time period, equating to 40,000 additional people no longer on waiting lists.
