I answer on behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister the Health and I thank the member for some notice of this question.  The Minister for Health has been advised that the Department of Health has to contact each area health service to source the data and coordinate the responses.  The Department of Health is unable to carry out this task in the required time.  The Minister of Health therefore requests that the question be placed on notice.
