Mr Taylor said people who had been languishing for years on lists deserved to know when to expect their surgery so they could attempt to get in shape for it.
"Pre-habilitation schemes can help to get patients ready for their operation as much as possible, a more personalised pre operation plan is required," he said.Mr Taylor called on the government to have a proper conversation with the public about how hospitals might look in the future. Mr Compton, who published the biggest reform of services in Northern Ireland in 2011, described the current waits as an "absolute disgrace".
