Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Like other Members, I have repeatedly put down parliamentary questions to the Minister for Health and Children to which I have received the same answer, namely, that it is not possible to reply at the present time but if the issue remains a problem, I may bring it to the Minister's attention once again. The Ceann Comhairle has advised me to put down parliamentary questions when I could not get answers to various issues. I have followed his instructions - as has every Member of the House - and am now at my wits' end. Constituents throughout the country are asking questions about the delivery of services that are personal to them-----
