I got this reply, with regard to the Department of Health, and I was told that it is 42. When I get a reply like this that is at total variance with the information we are provided with, it is very frustrating because when we get a reply to a parliamentary question, the one thing we want to be able to rely on is that the reply will be accurate. It is a very important source and it is on the public record. It seems to have been just 150 cases in 2020. My question was very clear, and the agency would have provided the information to the Department. I ask Mr. Breen to look out for the particular question that I recently tabled.
