Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

While I cannot comment on individual cases, in respect of cataract procedures - the Deputy mentioned eyes - in July of last year there were 6,060 people waiting on the cataracts list. That fell to 3,753 in December and is now 3,273. We now have nearly 55% of people receiving a cataract procedure in less than six months and I expect that to continue to improve. If the Deputy sends me the details I can have the HSE look at the individual case.
