I propose to take Questions Nos. 369 and 370 together.
The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) has informed me that initial searches have indicated that this is a large piece of work. The HPRA will collect the data and revert directly to the Deputy. It will take 2 to 3 weeks to retrieve and review the information requested by the Deputy.
