Mr. Robert Watt:
To add to what Mr. Reid has said, in regard to waiting lists and the NTPF, overall there are some 1.7 million planned removals from waiting lists for this year. The NTPF is allocated €150 million which is an increase on previous years. The expectation is it will contribute to around 280,000 cases. If that number on removals from its contribution is not correct, I will come back to the Deputy.
