Mr. Damien McCallion:

There is a lack of capacity in certain specialties in specific hospitals, for example, there might be only one dermatologist and a massive waiting list. They have been identified now with a view to determining how we can offer other options to those patients on the long waiter lists. As Mr. Mulvany said, the focus is on chronological sequencing to try to get to people, bring the wait times back and to reduce them even further next year. We are also trying to identify where there are practical issues that hospitals themselves cannot resolve and looking at the National Treatment Purchase Fund, NTPF, or elsewhere within the public system to try to move those patients and get them off the lists.
