asked the Minister for Health if he will give details of the progress made to date in collecting arrears of health contributions outstanding.

I presume the question refers to health contributions owed by farmers to health boards for the period before 6 April 1984 when responsibility for current collections was transferred to the Revenue Commissioners. I will circulate in the Official Report a tabular statement giving details of the progress made by health boards in collecting these arrears.
