Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am not sure whether the Deputy is speaking about trolleys or waiting lists, or both. These are obviously separate issues. The waiting list initiative, in terms of reducing the time people have to wait for hospital appointments for operations and procedures, is very much under way. I am not sure if it was ever formally announced but it is under way. That is why the number of people awaiting operations and procedures in hospitals has fallen for three months in a row and, I expect, within weeks will be at its lowest for a year. I would have to ask the Minister for Health to respond on the specific funding for Letterkenny.
