Limerick East): The information requested by the Deputy is not readily available in my Department. The maintenance of waiting lists for the provision of spectacles to eligible persons is the statutory responsibility of the health boards. I have asked each health board to provide me with the information. Unfortunately, the complete information was not available on time. However, I will write to the Deputy with the complete information as soon as possible.
