Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

No, I did not give consideration to a specific Cabinet committee on health. The Minister for Health attends by virtue of the fact that, for instance, the committee dealing with social policy will have the Minister for Health thereon and a number of others dealing with public service reform where issues of health can be raised. We did not give consideration to a specific committee on health. The Minister is very occupied on this. In any event, as the Deputy will be well aware, to find the time to convene and chair committee meetings dealing with a broad range of issues is an adventure in itself.
