In relation to the particular query raised, adult and child waiting list information by hospital and specialty is published monthly by the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) on its website: www.ntpf.ie.

The information is now being made available through an interactive visual tool which provides users with a much-improved way of accessing and analysing waiting list information.

I have also asked the HSE to provide the Deputy with information on the number of children waiting for paediatric ophthalmology services nationwide, outside of those on waiting lists in an acute hospital setting.
