Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1818 and 1819 together.

In relation to the query raised by the Deputy, the National Validation Unit at the National Treatment Purchase Fund has provided the attached document which outlines the number of patients removed from Acute Hospital Inpatient/Day Case and Outpatient Waiting Lists by hospital in 2021 and to date in 2022 as a result of the validation programme carried out by the National Validation Unit in conjunction with acute public hospitals.

Community waiting lists are not part of the National Validation Unit's programme of validation.
