Responsibility for the collation and publication of waiting list information falls within the remit of the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF).

The NTPF maintains public hospital waiting lists and waiting times nationally on a database, the Patient Treatment Register. My Department has, therefore, asked the Chief Executive of the NTPF to reply to the Deputy directly in relation to the information requested.
