Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

I express my disappointment that the Minister of State directly responsible, Deputy Moloney, is not here. The Minister of State, Deputy Barry Andrews, is not responsible. I would have thought that since the Minister of State, Deputy Moloney, is not here, the Minister for Health and Children would have answered the question because these families cannot be left in the lurch with no answer from either the senior Minister or the Minister of State responsible.
