All I can tell the Deputy is that it did not. The report lays out the timeline. The Deputy's question is a very fair one. In trying to answer it, I should say that it is difficult to convey the volume of issues that are dealt with in the Department of Health. I was in opposition as Fianna Fáil's health spokesperson. I thought that gave me a reasonable understanding of the volume of material that the Department and the Minister for Health deal with. It really did not.
