No, I refer to the system of parliamentary questions in the House. Currently, questions to the Department are referred to the HSE. One has to wait a long time before one gets some answers, in particular to urgent questions. The norm for parliamentary questions is that they are answered within three or four days. Will Dr. McLoughlin adopt such an approach or is that a policy matter?
