The problem I have is that the Ombudsman did his report in November. I tabled questions to the Minister in response to that and got an answer telling me the Department will give full and careful consideration to all the recommendations contained therein. He said he is waiting for the Department. Mr. Martin is saying the Department is waiting for the Minister. There is a Chinese wall being put up between the Department and the Minister over this issue. Has the careful and full consideration the Minister assured me the Department will give being done?
