“We had an opportunity here that many other parts of the state didn’t,” he said.

“We’ve identified the types of surgery and cases that can be dealt with and we are working with those surgeons and private hospitals.

Dr Spring hoped it would make a significantly reduce the waiting list of about 4500 people, particularly those needing orthopedic and general surgery.

“We’re very pleased the government actually allocated us 20 per cent of the available funds for Victoria,” he said.

Benambra MP Bill Tilley said patients were benefiting.

“Because it is over and above their normal surgery lists, the hospitals can provide this extra surgery at a competitive and efficient cost,” he said.

“This means more operations, and more people having their elective surgery.”

The program’s first two stages enabled Victoria’s hospitals to provide almost 17,000 extra operations. Stage three would deliver an estimated 2235 operations, almost 200 more than would have been provided through standard hospital budget allocations.
