To ask the Minister for Health further to Parliamentary Question No. 832 of 5 April 2022, the number of hysterectomies that have been performed in the State since March 2020; the number that were performed in public hospitals; and the number that were performed in private hospitals.

The Department of Health continues to work with the HSE and the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) to identify ways to improve access to care, including through increased use of private hospitals, funding weekend and evening work in public hospitals, funding “see and treat” services, providing virtual clinics, and increasing capacity in the public hospital system.

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