Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2022
1815. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Health the number of children who were removed from and added to the in-patient hospital waiting lists in 2021 to date, by month and by hospital, and further broken down by whether the removal from the waiting list was as a result of a patient seen for treatment or as a result of validating the waiting lists, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30463/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn relation to the query raised by the Deputy, the additions and removals to the waiting lists in any one month are reflective of acute hospital activity which is not collected by the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF). Under Statutory Instrument 179 the NTPF has a remit to collect and publish waiting list data. Current and past waiting list data is available on the NTPF website, with open data source information also available for public analysis.
In terms of activity data, the HSE publishes activity information through their Business Information Unit, with activity data made publicly available through monthly performance reports available on the HSE website. In relation to the number of patients treated in public hospitals by the HSE in 2021 and to date in 2022, I have asked the HSE to provide you with a direct response.
In relation to waiting list validation, 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. The validation reports do not currently show adult and child data separately.
