At that time, I advised the Member "answering questions of this nature are time consuming and labour resource intensive. For each department and agency, it requires diverting scarce resources away from core service provision. If the Member has a specific question, I will endeavour to answer it, but I am unable to continually agree to limited resources, particularly health resources, being diverted to across-the-board detailed "catch all" questions." I have been advised by the Department of Health that it took 3 weeks to answer PQ 247 and similar resources and timelines are required to answer this question. I can provide, in writing, the information sought by the end of May 2007 to the Member, but it would assist in the effective and efficient use of Health Department resources, if the Member could advise of any specific conduct or operation of contractors/consultants that is of concern.
