I will move on. I was trying to establish the process of who talks to whom in the companies. We have established that the HSE does not even talk to the suppliers directly, but through an intermediary. Does anybody from the Government's new procurement office in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform lead these talks? What is that office's role? The Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, tells us there is a new procurement office across the public service. What is its role with regard to this topic?
