There is one question on which I do not need an answer now, maybe a written answer will do. I am sure every politician is approached every so often by entrepreneurs with innovative ideas in the health area but there does not appear to be a one-stop shop within the Department to which they can be directed in confidence in the knowledge that their ideas will not be widely shared. I have encountered someone in this position in the past two or three months. I emphasise confidentiality because the ideas are entrepreneurial. If Mr. Watt has a brief response, he might give it, but I will accept a note later if it is not.
