Improving waiting times for hospital procedures is a key commitment in the Programme for Government.
My Department is working with the HSE and the NTPF to finalise an Outpatient Action Plan for 2018. This plan will support the HSE’s compliance with their National Service Plan targets, reduce the growth in the number of patients waiting for outpatient services, improve the accuracy of the waiting list, and trial a number of NTPF funded interventions, including weekend and out of hours clinics.
The information requested by the Deputy is supplied as a spreadsheet as of the end of June 2018.
