Bariatric services are provided in two public hospitals – St Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin and Galway University Hospital. Bariatric surgery was originally provided by St. Columcille’s Hospital and, as part of the reconfiguration of hospital services, was transferred to St Vincent’s Hospital last year. Funding was agreed to ensure the continuity of service provision as part of the transfer of services.
In relation to the particular query in relation to waiting lists for bariatric surgery raised by the Deputy, I have asked the HSE to respond directly to you on this matter.
