Dr. Geraldine Smith:
All I can say about that is while I am not defending the OHM or the health boards by any manner or means, the OHM was not a health board organisation. I think it was set up as a separate statutory organisation, which was audited by Deloitte & Touche. We managed to identify and get hold of most of the audited accounts from the OHM and nowhere therein will one will see €100,000. I went back to the people I knew were doing the accounts for the OHM and went to Deloitte and asked them whether they had any records they could give us. Unfortunately, however, with the passage of time and record retention policies, they had no records which would allow any further light to be thrown on the €100,000 or the €85,000.
