There are eleven separate bodies which come under the auspices of my Department and these are listed in the attached table together with the number of formal meetings held between the Division within the Department with responsibility for that Body and the Body itself between 2007 and 2008

In addition, given the wide range of responsibilities and the diversity of the functions performed by these Bodies, there is ongoing bilateral contact between officials at all levels of my Department and representatives of some of these Bodies as business need requires.
