在新西兰,由于需求高和资源有限,许多需要矫形外科手术的病人很难上等候名单。 In New Zealand, many patients needing orthopaedic surgery face difficulties getting onto waiting lists due to high demand and limited resources. 一般医生报告说,他们的转诊常常被拒绝,使病人得不到及时治疗。 General practitioners report that their referrals are often denied, leaving patients without timely treatment. 卫生部认为,资源短缺并不影响转诊评估,但医疗专家则提出相反的意见,认为该系统可能需要改革,以应对不断增长的需求。 The Ministry of Health maintains that resource shortages don't affect referral assessments, but medical experts argue otherwise, suggesting the system may need reform to handle the growing demand.
