Organ Transplants
Mark Durkan: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many people in Northern Ireland applied for donor cards in each of the last five years. [99360]
Paul Goggins: It is not known how many people in Northern Ireland carry donor cards, however the following table shows the number of people in Northern Ireland who have registered with the NHS Organ Donor Register in each of the last five complete years and in 2006 to the end of October.
| Registration year | ODR registrations | Cumulative total |
The step change in 2003 is due to a backlog of registrations made through the DVLNI being registered in that year.

Paediatric Surgery
Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how many patients are waiting for (a) paediatric surgery in-patient admission and (b) initial paediatric surgery out-patient assessment in each health trust area in the Province; [99450]
(2) what the (a) average and (b) longest waiting time is for (i) initial paediatric surgery out-patient assessment and (ii) paediatric surgery in-patient admission in each health trust area in the Province; [99449]
(3) how many patients (a) had an initial paediatric surgery out-patient assessment and (b) were admitted to hospital for paediatric surgery out-patient assessment in each of the last five years in each health trust area in the Province. [99451]
Paul Goggins: The (i) total number of children waiting for (a) paediatric surgery in-patient admission and (b) initial paediatric surgery outpatient assessment (first out-patient appointment) for each applicable health trust at 30 June 2006 is shown in the following table:

| Total waiting for paediatric surgery | ||
| HSS trust | (a) In-patient admission | (b) Out-patient appointment |

Waiting list information is collected by time band. It is therefore not possible to calculate the arithmetic mean (average) and longest time waiting for plastic surgery in-patient admission or for initial plastic surgery out-patient assessment (first out-patient appointment). It is however possible to identify the median or mid point and longest waiting time band for both in-patient admission and first out-patient appointment in each applicable health trust area in the Province.
