IPDC GI Endoscopy Waiting List

The National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) is responsible for the collection, collation and validation of Inpatient, Day Case and Outpatient waiting lists. The IPDC GI Endoscopy Waiting List Open Data report shows the total number of people waiting, across the various time bands, for GI Endoscopy treatment. Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC) techniques have been applied to the data to preserve confidentiality and mitigate against identification or self-identification of individuals. In cases where there are less than 5 people in any particular cell, that value has been replaced with the average (mean) of all values that are less than 5 across that category. Any decimal values which arise have then been rounded. This may cause some rounding to occur when calculating sub-totals. Where there are less than 20 people waiting in a particular specialty/hospital, the numbers have been aggregated under a ‘Small Volume’ heading The Children’s Health Act 2018 came into effect on 1st January 2019. Under this act, Children’s Health Ireland was established and all assets, liabilities and records were transferred from Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin, Temple Street Children’s University Hospital and National Childrens Hospital at Tallaght University Hospital to the new body. From 1st January 2019, all NTPF reports reflect this change and data from the three sites of Children’s Health Ireland are reported as one entity. On the 31st of July 2019 Children's Health Ireland opened a new Paediatric Outpatient Department and Urgent Care Centre at CHI Connolly in Blanchardstown. The waiting lists for this site are incorporated into the Children's Health Ireland figures. Please note that NTPF does not collect activity data, i.e., numbers treated or removed. A snapshot of the number of patients waiting in each hospital is collected and published, monthly, on the NTPF website. Boards and management of individual public hospitals are responsible for the accuracy and the integrity of patient data submitted to NTPF. The NTPF commenced publishing separate Adult and Child Waiting List Reports in April 2021. The Open Data report formats reflect this change from that date forward.国家医疗服务采购基金（National Treatment Purchase Fund, NTPF）负责住院、日间手术及门诊候诊清单的收集、整理与核验。 IPDC胃肠内镜候诊清单公开数据报告展示了各时长区间内等待胃肠内镜治疗的总人数。 已对该数据应用统计披露控制（Statistical Disclosure Control, SDC）技术以保障数据保密性，防范个体被识别或自我识别的风险。若某一特定单元格内的人数少于5人，则将该数值替换为该类别下所有不足5人的数值的平均值，随后对所得的所有小数进行四舍五入处理。这一操作可能导致分项小计出现一定的舍入误差。 若某一专科/医院的候诊人数少于20人，则将该类别的数据归集至「小体量」类目下。 2018年《儿童健康法案》（Children’s Health Act 2018）于2019年1月1日正式生效。依据该法案，爱尔兰儿童健康署（Children’s Health Ireland）正式成立，原克拉姆林圣母儿童医院、坦普尔街儿童大学医院及塔拉格特大学医院国家儿童医院的全部资产、负债与档案均划转至该新机构。自2019年1月1日起，所有NTPF报告均体现这一调整，爱尔兰儿童健康署旗下三家院区的相关数据将以单一实体的形式进行统计报告。2019年7月31日，爱尔兰儿童健康署在布兰查德斯顿的CHI康诺利院区开设了全新的儿科门诊与急诊中心，该院区的候诊清单数据已纳入爱尔兰儿童健康署的统计数据中。 请注意，NTPF并不收集诊疗活动数据，即已接受治疗或已从候诊名单中移除的患者人数。该机构每月收集并在NTPF官网发布各医院候诊患者人数的快照数据。 各公立医院的董事会及管理团队需对提交至NTPF的患者数据的准确性与完整性承担责任。 NTPF自2021年4月起开始发布独立的成人与儿童候诊清单报告，自该日期起，公开数据报告的格式均已适配这一调整。
