Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Last week the Tánaiste was unable to give a clear answer in respect of legislation necessary to deal with information given to the review group looking into the question of children who may have died in the care of the State. I find it strange that the HSE, which is responsible for the delivery of services in accordance with the policy laid down by the Government and the Minister for Health and Children, has legal problems transmitting information and documentation to a review body set up by the Government. We have gone down the road of bureaucracy to an enormous extent.
