With respect, the Chairman will give me just a moment's grace to add these last points.
My question No. 13 was on neurorehabilitation. When will the rehabilitation medicine programme be presented? Will it be simultaneously published? My question on why the implementation plan is not being developed by the Department is not addressed in the reply. I am anxious to know why the Department of Health stopped being the lead agency for the development of the implementation plan for neurorehabilitation.
My last comment is on question No. 14 on a meningitis B vaccine. We all well understand the role of the National Immunisation Advisory Committee. However, to provide a reply on the possible introduction of the meningitis B vaccine that has been cleared on a European stage without referring to it at all is unacceptable.
