Mr. Maurice Farnan:
In 2019, we had 2,327 on the waiting list. In 2020, we had 2,755, and in 2021 we had 3,556. However, in terms of people with appointments who are seen, in 2019 the figure was 204,192. In 2020, the figure was 224,171, and in 2021 the figure was 249,567. While we are seeing more people, equally there is a significant increase in demand for the service. I hope that is helpful.
