Ceist:

537 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Health and Children the amount of expenditure incurred to date by An Bord Altranais; the amount projected to be incurred in connection with an inquiry into a person (details supplied) and High Court litigation associated with the inquiry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Health and Children (Mr. Cowen):

An Bord Altranais is the nursing profession's regulatory body and is an independent and self-financing agency. I have, therefore, referred your question to the chief executive officer of the board for his attention and direct reply to you.
