Question:
To ask the Minister of Health to detail the number of children on the waiting list for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy surgery, broken down by month in the last two years.

Answer:

As of 13th December 2024, 66 children are on the Percutaneous Gastrostomy Surgery waiting list.

My officials are not in a position to provide procedure level waiting list information over time as this is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
