Mr. Damien McCallion:

Again, we saw this last night with Dr. Flannelly's note. In general, where advice is given the decision-making rests on whether it is a policy matter or a matter for ourselves. We are trying to focus on solving the issues we have with the backlog and the capacity. Generally, we have a great deal of dialogue with the Department on all sorts of issues daily, and the decision making rests in terms of either policy or operational matters. Obviously, Dr. Flannelly set out her understanding of it at that time. I cannot comment on that with regard to the sequence or timing, as I was not there. As Deputy Donnelly said, there have been responses already from the Department about how that operated so I am not in a position to give the specifics of that.
