Our status explained

NORMAL ACTIVITY Even during normal level of activity, our staff are often busy, and waiting times of around an hour are common.
VERY BUSY As we get busier, the number of people in the waiting room increases and the time you may need to wait for treatment gets longer. This can be anywhere between two to four hours.
EXTREMELY BUSY When we are extremely busy, the waiting room gets crowded and you may need to wait more than four hours to see the doctor.
