Question 324: To ask the Minister for Health and Children the reason getting permission for ethical permission for surveys and studies takes one year to process; if she will implement a standard ethical permission for surveys and studies; and the reason granting permission for external and independently funded surveys and studies takes so long when it provides information for the Health Service Executive and her Department to use.

Having made enquiries in the matter, it has not been possible to ascertain particular studies or surveys to which the question refers. Should the Deputy provide information on a specific case or cases where a problem has arisen in relation to ethical permission for studies and surveys, I will be pleased to have the matter investigated further.
