The NSP 2020 sets targets in relation to the waiting times of attendees of emergency departments (ED) for discharge or admission including specific targets for patients over 75 as follows:

- The NSP 2020 target for percentage of attendees at ED who are discharged or admitted within six hours of registration is 65%.

- The NSP 2020 target for percentage of attendees aged 75 years and over at ED who are discharged or admitted within six hours of registration is 95%

- The NSP 2020 target for percentage of attendees at ED who are discharged or admitted within nine hours of registration is 80%.

In relation to the particular query raised regarding the breakdown of average PET by site between September 2019 and February 2020, as this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
