Following my appointment as Minister for Health, I met with the then Secretary General of the Department, the Head of Parliamentary Affairs and with senior Department officials and was briefed on a wide range of issues in line with normal practice. While I had no formal handover briefing from the previous minister, we have communicated regularly.
