Written Answers. - Hospital Waiting Lists.
Alan Shatter
Ceist:
448
Mr. Shatter
asked the
Minister for Health and Children
the number of persons on the in-patient hospital waiting lists in respect of each area of speciality and each hospital at 30 June 1999; the numbers on the waiting list on that date; the numbers nationally in respect of each speciality; and the number of children and adults awaiting treatment in particular specialities for in excess of six months up to 12 months, 12 months to two years and in excess of two years.
[17520/99]
The information requested by the Deputy is set out on the following tables, in the format collected by my Department.
I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the waiting list figures at the end of June 1999 show a reduction of 1,072 on the March figures. This means that waiting lists have fallen by almost 3,000, some 8 per cent, since the beginning of this year. The reductions in March and June 1999 are the first since December 1996, and it is the first time in which waiting lists have fallen in two successive quarters since then.
Since coming into office, I have taken an integrated approach to the problem of waiting lists. As the Deputy will be aware, I commissioned a review of the waiting list initiative. I am now implementing a series of measures aimed at tackling the root causes of waiting lists. I allocated £20 million this year to agencies specifically to undertake waiting list work, with £3 million of this funding being allocated to the agencies who achieved the greatest improvements in their waiting lists in the first quarter of the year. This was in line with the recommendations of the review group report.
I also allocated £9 million to services to older people and £2 million to accident and emergency services, with the aim of freeing acute hospital beds by ensuring the streamlining of emergency services and providing additional step-down and rehabilitation facilities for older people.
I am confident that the measures I have taken in tackling waiting lists represents the best way of addressing the underlying causes of waiting lists and long waiting times.
