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?

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...
