Best wishes to all the staff at NCBI in the work they do. I have met Mr. Mullaniff a few times, and I know great work is being done.

The waiting list figures that Professor Keegan provided in his written submission are actually different to the figures I have. I am not sure if I got the full information from the HSE, but I cannot see how the figures could be so dramatically out as much as they are. The figure Professor Keegan provided was 44,083 on the ophthalmology waiting list for the end of March. The figure I have for the end of May is 21,798.
