I would like to comment briefly. Two reports - the Too Old to be Equal report and the motorised transport grant report - have been referred directly to this committee. I suggest that the two reports give us a basis to review the dealings of the Department and the HSE in each case. The two reports give us a door to open up our work to deal with the cultural aspects of the HSE. We can leave open the option of seeking to investigate the other elements of it further. I put it to Senator Ó Clochartaigh that we are virtually on the same page here. It is just a matter of intent.
