Does the Cathaoirleach see that there is an issue here, particularly with the HSE and anything to do with the health services? Every question that is put to officials, they run down the clock. When we follow up with correspondence, they take a long time to come back. Then they deploy delaying practices. Oftentimes, they answer questions that they were not asked, and they bombard the committee with information. This is a very specific issue that was put to them going back as far as February.
