I propose to take Questions Nos. 1047 to 1050, inclusive, together.

In relation to the data requested by the Deputy, the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) have informed my Department that there were 35 vasectomy treatments arranged from 2017 to 2021 across 3 of the 4 hospitals with approximately 70% arranged in Tallaght University Hospital.

As the number of treatments are very low, for Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) reasons, the NTPF have advised that no further breakdown can be provided to avoid possible identification of patients.
