    Abstract:
    The governmental regulations concerning registration of waiting lists and priority of patients, laid down in July 1990, introduce a "waiting time guarantee" which ensures a waiting time not exceeding six months for patients suffering from diseases having severe impacts on health. Hospitals that are unable to treat these patients within six months are requested to refer them to other hospitals before the deadline. All hospitals have to make monthly reports of waiting list parameters to a Central Waiting List Register, enabling both a nationwide waiting list survey and comparisons between different hospitals and different counties. An online communication facility to the central register enables searches for and reporting of vacant treatment capacity.
