291 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children the hospital waiting list figures for in-patient and day case patients as at 31 December 2002 in respect of each hospital and in respect of each specialty at each hospital. [9972/03]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 290 and 291 together.
The information requested by the Deputy is being collated by my Department. It will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as the figures are published.
292 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will give figures for each specialty in respect of the in-patient and day case hospital waiting lists as at 30 June 2002. [9973/03]
Separate figures in respect of day case waiting lists were not published in regard to the position as at 30 June 2002 due to insufficiency of data. Day case waiting list figures were first published by my Department in respect of the position as at 30 September 2002. Figures for each specialty in respect of the in-patient and day case waiting lists as at 30 September 2002 are being communicated separately to the Deputy.
