Written answers

Minister for Health

I propose to take Questions Nos. 253 and 254 together.

As there have been significant staff changes in my Department, and my Department was significantly restructured when the new Department of Children and Youth Affairs was formed, the information will take some time to collate. The information will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
