The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the following table:
Year | Total PQs Answered | Referred to HSE | Answered by Ministers |
---|---|---|---|
2016 | 5,159 | 3,372 | 1,787 |
2015 | 8,033 | 5,258 | 2,775 |
2014 | 8,081 | 4,907 | 3,174 |
2013 | 7,232 | 3,623 | 3,609 |
2012 | 7,590 | 4,045 | 3,545 |
As the Departments PQ database does not provide a breakdown between Oral and Written PQs the number of questions answered reflects both. The 2016 figures are for January to July only.
