I want to ask the Minister the reason University Hospital Waterford has experienced a 159% increase in inpatient and day case waiting lists since May 2013, when it became part of the South-South West Hospitals Group, to the point where it now accounts for more than 40% of the group waiting list compared with 23% in 2013. This is of major concern. The figures are alarming. Why is it happening and what can be done about it?
