In 2006 the Ministers of State and I answered a total of 5,991 Parliamentary Questions. Of this total, 3,494 Parliamentary Questions tabled were appropriate for reply, in whole or in part, by the Health Service Executive under its statutory remit and replies have issued to 3,368 (96%) of these Questions. The HSE has informed my Department that its Parliamentary Affairs Division is actively pursuing the preparation of replies to the remaining 126 Questions.
