Written answers

Minister for Health

I understand that an official from my Department contacted your office in relation to this PQ in September of this year. It was agreed by email to process the matter raised as a Freedom of Information request rather than a Parliamentary Question given that it relates to the release of records. The FOI request is currently being processed.
