Further to the Written Answer by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath on 19 February (WA 197), whether they will answer the Question on what steps they are taking to avoid long delays in answering Questions concerning the Department of Health. [HL2202]

The Minister of State, Department of Health
(Lord Hunt of Kings Heath)

We endeavour to answer all Parliamentary Questions as quickly as possible. The department received more than 10,000 Parliamentary Questions in 2006 and we have established processes in place to deal with them. We are seeking to improve continuously on our performance and have set up an internal review to look at our processes, information technology, management and training.
