I propose to take Questions Nos. 434 and 435 together.

The number of Management Advisory Committee (MAC) meetings in each of the years 2011, 2012, 2013, and to date in 2014, is set out in the table. Details of attendees for each of these meetings were set out in my answer of 26 November. The Minister for Health, and Ministers of State, would meet regularly with members of the Department's MAC as and when required.
