  219.  Mr. Shatter  Information on Alan Shatter  Zoom on Alan Shatter   asked the Minister for Health and Children  Information on Micheál Martin  Zoom on Micheál Martin   the reason he was unable to detail the hospital waiting lists as at 31 March 2000; if he will now state the hospital waiting lists for the first quarter of 2000 in respect of each hospital and in respect of each speciality in each hospital; and, if he will further outline those waiting in excess of six months, 12 months and two years. [14496/00]

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin): Information on Micheál Martin  Zoom on Micheál Martin  The in-patient hospital waiting lists as at 31 March 2000 in the format collected by my Department are on the following tables. I am pleased to inform the Deputy that the numbers on waiting lists have fallen by 2,485 on the end of December quarter. This welcome reduction has been achieved in a period of high levels of medical admissions due to flu like illnesses and is a reflection of the major priority that is being attached to addressing high waiting lists.

It is my intention to pursue continual reductions in waiting lists and waiting times for hospital treatment. In this context, following a series of discussions with the chief executive officers of the health boards, I have today announced a £10 million initiative aimed at maximising available capacity in the system to enable an additional 7,600 waiting list procedures to be performed before the end of the year. This funding will be allocated on the basis of the performance of each agency in reaching the activity targets they have agreed. The proposals to be funded are based on a series of innovative measures including use of facilities during the traditional summer closures period, cross-contracting arrangements between agencies and from the private sector, extended theatre and ward opening times, extended weekend work and the contracting of activity from hospitals in Northern Ireland.

These short-term measures are being taken in tandem with longer term measures associated with the £2 billion investment under the national development plan, the ongoing implementation of the recommendations of the expert review group on the waiting list initiative and the national bed capacity review now under way. It is my intention to continue to take all available steps to address the short and longer term issues associated with lengthy waiting lists and waiting times.
