Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Martin)

The Deputy will appreciate that there are a range of tribunals, etc., established over recent years and costs may have been incurred not only by my Department but also by health agencies. However, I have asked my Department to collect the information requested by the Deputy and send it to him as soon as it becomes available.
