Written answers

Minister for Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 778 and 779 together.

The National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) is responsible for the collection, collation and publication of Inpatient/Day Case and Outpatient waiting lists. Waiting list information is published on the NTPF website at the end of each month. The information is presented in different report formats, i.e. by Hospital, Hospital Group, and by Specialty on www.ntpf.ie.

In relation to the specific query raised, I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly.
