I propose to take Questions Nos. 341 to 343, inclusive, and 345 together.
The information requested by the Deputy is provided in the following tables. The figures are derived from the hospital in-patient inquiry, HIPE, system which records information on hospitalisations in all publicly funded acute hospitals in the State. This system records hospital episodes and is not a patient-based system. Thus, where a patient is admitted into a hospital on more than one occasion, these individual hospital episodes are recorded.
