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 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 regarding the information requested.
