GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:15):</by>  I can only reiterate that I have given an open, honest and frank answer.

I have given an honest answer: I said that I am not aware. You can raise it as many times and in as many ways as you like, but my answer remains the same: I am unaware.</text>
        <text id="201405077fa757e78fcf412880000204">As I said, I went back to my office yesterday and asked them to do a correspondence check to see whether any information had come into my office about the length of waiting times for those particular services, but so far it has come up negative. All I can do is reiterate that I am prepared to look into those and do whatever I can to improve services if there are undue waiting times.</text>
