PQ 885
885. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Health if she has ascertained the way in which CHI ensured that patients chosen for any NTPF-funded surgery or clinic were selected based on medical priority and waiting time; if there were instances where long-waiting children were bypassed in favour of others in NTPF sessions; if she is assured that CHI did not engage in any practice of resetting or manipulating waitlists for optics for example, removing and re-adding patients to make waits appear shorter, or cycling patients through initial consultations or diagnostics, funded by NTPF, only to place them back on the same surgical waiting list thereafter; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
