Appointments of 6,000 patients deleted in wait lists clean-up
Ljubljana, 9 November - As part of efforts to cut wait times in healthcare, the Health Ministry has deleted 1.07 million referrals from the country's e-referral system for appointments in 2020 and 2021 for which patients did not show up as the Covid pandemic hampered access to health services. However, 5,977 patients' referrals were erased mistakenly.
