I hope the Secretary General will come before the committee shortly. Essentially the responsibility for these matters lies with the Department of Health. The Government has been in place two years whereas the Ombudsman had raised her concerns about matters over a decade. That is the reason we have invited the Secretary General of the Department of Health to come before us. I hope he will be able to attend on Wednesday, 6 March 2013.

As we have dealt with all the issues, I propose we adjourn.
