Answers to questions on notice—costs
(Question No 1272)
Mrs Dunne asked the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, upon notice, on 13 April 2018:
(1) Further to the answers to questions on notice Nos 1032 and 1034, what is the basis for stating the approximate cost of completing the answers, when that information was not sought.
(2) What elements of process were included in the costing.
(3) What hourly rate was applied for each element of process.
(4) How long did it take to calculate the approximate cost for each question.
(5) Was the time taken to calculate the cost included in the overall cost.
(6) Why did the final figures for the approximate cost translate to different hourly rates.
Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Inclusion of this information is now a standard practice for all directorates responding to questions on notice. This is intended to transparently communicate the level of resourcing needed to respond to each question on notice and, by extension, support an understanding of why some questions may not be answered due to an assessment of when there would be an unreasonable diversion of resources.
