  1. I think there is some potential in uncovering hidden waits and the role make reluctance plays in that. Obviously more detail would be handy to understand this better

    1. Yes, absolutely. The finding came out of an initial analysis of our waiting list groups. We also performed a logistic regression on our priority 3 wait group to look at predictors for becoming a long waiter (>52 weeks wait) and found that men were more likely to become long waiters than women - we are looking to establish some user insight groups to understand why this is the case & identify changes we can make to reduce this.
