Statutory responsibility for the collation, management and publication of data on waiting times for in-patient and day-case procedures for public patients rests with the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF). My Department has, therefore, asked the Chief Executive of the NTPF to reply directly to the Deputy in relation to the information requested.
