Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Alan Dillon: I will rephrase my question. As of 30 November, we had 897,000 people on some form of public hospital waiting list. That figure was published by the National Treatment Purchase Fund, NTPF, last Friday. What will be done to reduce waiting lists in the coming years? What does the Department envisage to be an acceptable level?

Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Alan Dillon: The smaller projects are equally as important. Locally, I have been given a timeline of 2026 for the expansion of the emergency department at Mayo University Hospital. I would love to review the HSE's capital and estates programme to see what level of resources are provided for these types of projects. It is unacceptable that it will be five years before anyone in Mayo University Hospital...

Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Alan Dillon: I have two questions. The first is on the procurement and cost of the vaccination roll-out for 2020 and the spend to date for 2021. If Mr. Watt has the figures and can furnish us with them, that would be great. The second question concerns plans by the Department for the introduction of a Covid vaccine compensation scheme. Has the Department made a decision on that? The Government...

Alan Dillon: I also welcome the Minister and the Minister of State. My first question is for the Minister of State.

Alan Dillon: I certainly welcome that initiative. I have highlighted the lack of provision of sporting facilities in the primary and secondary school environment to the Minister for Education. I welcome the expansion of the sports capital and equipment programme that allows schools to make applications in this regard. While physical education is a senior cycle subject, certain schools are using...
