I propose to take Questions Nos. 980 and 1028 together.

In relation to the particular patient query raised by the Deputy, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly.

The National Waiting List Management Policy, A standardised approach to managing scheduled care treatment for in-patient, day case and planned procedures, January 2013, has been developed to ensure that all administrative, managerial and clinical staff follow an agreed national minimum standard for the management and administration of waiting lists for scheduled care. This policy, which has been adopted by the Health Service Executive, sets out the processes that hospitals are to implement to manage waiting lists.

In relation to this particular issues raised by the Deputy, I have asked the HSE to investigate and respond directly to her.
