I wish to put on record my condolences to Praveen on the recent passing of his beautiful wife.

I will make two comments on the two investigations that have been discussed at this meeting. First, I welcome the independent investigation into the allegations around our crisis pregnancy services. I also welcome the changes that have been made to the investigation into Savita's death.

My second point may seem trivial. I understand the professionalism and the protocols, namely, what must be done to tick boxes from a professional organisation's perspective. Where this type of investigation is held, they are usually into real tragedies involving real human beings. Politicians and organisations such as the HSE are constantly abused for being "desensitised". Can the HSE humanise its press releases or the language used in any investigation that is necessary? Serious offence has been caused, not just to Savita's family, but to the majority of Irish people by yesterday's announcements.

I wish to ask about the financial overview.
