Vol. 524 No. 5

Written Answers. - Hospital Waiting Lists.

Gay Mitchell

Ceist:

278 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children the waiting time applicable to each speciality by hospital in respect of the waiting list figures as at 30 June 2000. [23123/00]

Gay Mitchell

Ceist:

279 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children the hospital waiting lists as at 30 June 2000 in respect of each hospital and in respect of each speciality; and if he will outline those waiting in excess of six months, 12 months and two years. [23124/00]

Bernard Allen

Ceist:

291 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Health and Children the number of persons awaiting appointments for plastic surgery in each of the health board areas. [23139/00]

I propose to take Questions Nos. 278, 279 and 291 together.

The waiting times and waiting list figures in the format collected by my Department as at 30 June 2000 are set out in the following tables.

The overall numbers on waiting lists as at 30 June 2000 fell by 5,004 which is a reduction of 13.58% on the end of the December 1999 quarter. This welcome reduction is a reflection of the major priority that is being attached to addressing high waiting lists.
It is my intention to pursue continual reductions in waiting lists and waiting times for hospital treatment. In this context, following a series of discussions with the chief executive officers of the health boards earlier this year, I announced a £10 million initiative aimed at maximising available capacity in the system to enable additional waiting list procedures to be performed before the end of the year. This brings the dedicated funding to waiting list procedures to £34 million this year.
These short-term measures are being taken in tandem with longer term measures associated with the £2 billion investment under the national development plan, the ongoing implementation of the recommendations of the expert review group on the waiting list initiative and the national bed capacity review now under way. It is my intention to continue to take all available steps to address the short and longer term issues associated with lengthy waiting lists and waiting times.
