The consultation process that the Deputy is referring to is the second public consultation process which my Department has conducted as part of the development of the Your Health is Your Wealth – Health and Wellbeing Framework 2012-2020. The first consultation invited general submissions whereas the second public consultation asked specific questions on a number of background documents that had been prepared by the working group responsible for developing the framework. A total of 66 submissions have been received in response to the second consultation and are currently being reviewed. The submissions will be published on the Department of Health's website. I will be submitting a memorandum on the framework to the Government later this month and hope to publish the report in the autumn.
