In regard to the information requested by the Deputy, the attached document, provided to my Department by the NTPF, outlines the OPD respiratory medicine initiatives approved for funding so far in 2022, the location of each one and the number of patients to be treated.

The Deputy might note that since he received a reply to representation on this matter at the end of June one further initiative was approved by the NTPF.
