Could the Deputy let me finish the point? All I can say is that I hear a presentation from the Minister for Health, as I do from every Department, and engage in bilateral discussions. Ultimately, the document the Deputy sees is signed off by officials from the Department of Health as accurate, proper and appropriate. It is approved by the Cabinet collectively. Therefore, the Minister for Health and every other line Minister says "Yes" to it.
