I propose to take Questions Nos. 170 to 173, inclusive, 178 and 179 together.
Responsibility for the collation and publishing of waiting list and waiting time data now rests with the national treatment purchase fund, NTPF. The NTPF, which is now a statutory body, was established as one of the key actions for dealing with public hospital waiting lists arising from the health strategy. My Department has, therefore, asked the chief executive of the NTPF to reply to the Deputy directly with the information requested.
