This is to ask the Minister, further to a previous parliamentary question, when follow-up funding will be provided for the 550 adults who require general surgery, the 953 patients who require diagnostic testing and the 110 patients who require an outpatient review. These patients are part of the 2013 outpatient waiting list initiative. The patients' cases were outsourced from Letterkenny General Hospital for private appointments, and the patients had their appointments with a consultant.

Funding has not been provided for follow-up treatment and their files have been recalled to Letterkenny General Hospital to be added to its waiting list. Will funding be provided for them to continue their treatment with the consultant to whom they were initially referred?
