Do they do it themselves? When the HSE goes to a voluntary hospital and asks for information on staff pay and allowances in various categories do those involved go off and do it themselves? Each one does it by itself; it is not a question of the Department having to do it. The voluntary sector could be told that it has six weeks to compile the information. The Department has the same timeline but it has a much bigger job to do. It could seek the information from the voluntary sector and submit it when it has been compiled.
