Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2012
1760. Deputy Paudie Coffey asked the Minister for Health the total number of reports that were commissioned by his Department from the years 2000-2004; if he will provide a list in tabular form of each report; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38549/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraDuring the period specified by the Deputy a total of 105 reports were commissioned by my Department. Details of these reports are set out in the tables below.
Many of the reports can be traced back to the development of services for cancer, cardiovascular health, health promotion and the subsequent evaluation of these strategies. A number of the reports deal with complex and ethical issues, for example, the Commission on Assisted Human Reproduction.
A strong feature of a number of the reports related to engagement in widespread public consultation. National and international expert advice are critical and vital components in the development of health strategy.
