Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

Why is this legal document being withheld from Members when it was widely circulated among the health boards in 2003? It is not Government legal advice but legal advice sought by a health board on an issue with which it was dealing and subsequently circulated to all health boards. The Minister tells us we cannot have this information. With regard to the Minister, Deputy Martin, and the Department of Health and Children, we have seen no political responsibility. We feel we have some political responsibility and that we should have that information if it is so widely available to everybody else.
