Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I wonder if the Ceann Comhairle can assist me concerning the progress to date on the legislative programme. Under promised legislation, is it intended to introduce a new minister for backlogs? Several pieces of legislation have been proposed for a long time, yet no progress has been made. We are promised daily that legislation is imminent, but we have had no indication from any quarter that anything will change. As regards the delivery of health service, legislation has been promised.
