716. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for Health the number of people on outpatient waiting lists per department in Roscommon University Hospital; and the average waiting times. [39055/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn relation to the particular query raised by the Deputy, regarding outpatient waiting lists at Roscommon University Hospital, this information is published monthly and is available on the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) website at:www.ntpf.ie/home/nwld.htm
The NTPF only collects data on patients currently on the waiting list. The time to treatment of patients who have already received their care is not collected. As a result, the health system does not have the data necessary to calculate true average wait times.
