I apologise for not being here to hear Mr. McEnery's presentation. I welcome him to this meeting. We have been missing each other, as Mr. Whelan will confirm. I am pleased to have this opportunity to welcome him and wish him every success in his new responsibilities. I believe HIQA has an important role to play. I would like to add a little codicil to that, as I have done previously. There is more than anecdotal evidence, regrettably, that HIQA's best efforts are sometimes misapplied subsequently by a system that is all too happy to use the evidence that has been accumulated for other ends.
