I propose to take Questions Nos. 292 to 321, inclusive, together.
The HSE National Service Plan (NSP) sets out the type and volume of health and personal social services that the HSE undertakes to provide within its financial allocation each year. 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%.
- The NSP 2020 target for percentage of attendees aged 75 years and over at ED who are discharged or admitted within nine hours of registration is 99%.
- The NSP 2020 target for percentage of all attendees at ED who are in ED less than 24 hours is 97%.
- The NSP 2020 target for percentage of attendees aged 75 years and over at ED who are in ED less than 24 hours is 99%
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.
