306. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Health the number of people currently waiting a year or more for inpatient appointments and for outpatient appointments, at Galway University Hospital and Portiuncula Hospital respectively, by speciality, and by yearly segments 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 years and so on; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As this is a service matter, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the deputy directly, as soon as possible.
