Mr. Liam Woods:

I will make the observation that it relates to ophthalmology. I note the Deputy's point. The outpatient list in ophthalmology has grown substantially during the course of this year and there has been much progress on the inpatient side for ophthalmology and cataract procedures, both nationally and in County Cork. We will have a dedicated plan to effectively address the outpatient list. We are resourced for that and will seek to enable that during the closing months of this year and into early next year. I can send the Deputy more detail on that.
