Mr. Fergal Goodman:

Practically speaking, it was transmitted through the Department for formal purposes to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform but since the information was contained and held within the HSE there was not anything in terms of facts that the Department of Health could add to it. As my colleague from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform mentioned, there was a good level of interaction and contact going on so that we were already clear on the material and format required and the deadline and therefore everyone was working to that objective.
