Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin
Question:145 Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if her attention has been drawn to the fact that fewer than fifty percent of parliamentary questions from this office referred by her to the Health Service Executive are replied to within a 20 working day period and before a follow up parliamentary question has been tabled; that interim replies are not issued as a matter of routine when the 20 working day period is exceeded; that the tabling of a follow-up parliamentary question usually prompts an immediate reply from the Health Service Executive, indicating that the delay was not due to inaccessibility of the information sought; if she considers this acceptable; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
