This is a draft report. We do not usually circulate the report beforehand. It was out of courtesy and to inform the HSE and the Department where they stood on the draft report that it was sent. That is the only reason. I do not understand why Mr. O'Brien and Dr. McLoughlin refer to it as a big issue; it is not. What are at issue here are the facts and figures as borne out by Deputy McCarthy's questions.
