I propose to take Questions Nos. 769, 770, 771 and 772 together.

The Deputy will appreciate that I did not hold the office of Minister for Health during the period in question and therefore can respond only insofar as the records held in my Department indicate.

My Department has conducted a thorough search of physical and electronic records in relation to the matters referred to by the Deputy. No records have been found which would enable the information sought in the Deputy’s questions to be provided.

The Deputy will appreciate that I did not hold the office of Minister for Health during the period in question and therefore can respond only insofar as the records held in my Department indicate. Following agreement on all main elements of a contractual reform agreement between Government and the Irish Medical Organisation, a further period was required to complete the drafting between the parties of a detailed formal agreement document. When this was ready it was furnished by officials to the then-Minister, on 17 April 2019.
