Written answers

I currently make appointments to over 40 agencies, councils, offices, advisory committees and other bodies. More than 20 bodies, including the former health boards have been abolished during the period in question. The information being sought by the Deputy is not routinely collected or compiled by my Department. The Deputy will appreciate that the provision of the information requested cannot be facilitated without undue commitment of staff resources and administrative cost. However, if the Deputy has a question in relation to a specific agency, I will make appropriate inquiries.
