Elderly patients across NSW are bearing the brunt of record elective surgery waiting times, the opposition says.
Labor health spokesman Walt Secord said those languishing on wait lists for knee and hip replacements and cataract removal were the human face of massive funding cuts to health and hospitals.
"Unfortunately, patients wait at every stage in NSW. They wait for an ambulance; they wait outside the emergency department; they wait inside the emergency department; they wait for a bed and then they are discharged early to free up the bed," Mr Secord said on Sunday.
