For somebody who is on a long-term waiting list, waiting list validation is very important. We have cases where people are on three or four waiting lists and they may already have received the treatment. If the Deputy gives me specifics of the issue in the Cork area, I can have it raised with the office of the Minister, Deputy Donnelly. I know waiting lists are falling. Validation helps in those cases because people sometimes decide to fund services themselves or do it through private health insurance. It is very important that the waiting lists are accurate.
