My Department has identified the main legislative provisions within its remit that give rise to an administrative burden on businesses in the Health Sector. We will now proceed to identify and quantify the specific information and other obligations arising in this context.

The Deputy will be aware the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment is coordinating the overall process and I would expect that my Department will meet the timeframes centrally proposed. Accordingly, I expect that the identification, prioritisation and measurement process will be completed by the end of 2009.
