I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take Questions Nos. 27, 28 and 29 together.
Since statistics relating to health services are compiled on an annual basis, the precise information sought is not currently available. In collecting statistics on the first year's operation of the Act the need to obtain the information sought by the Deputies will be borne in mind.
