Let me outline the last topic I want to raise. Has Mr. O'Brien any concerns regarding public procurement guidelines? I will pick an example that has been mentioned in the newspapers a lot. I am reading from a document stating the National Maternity Hospital has outsourced some of its obstetric scans to a private clinic next door that is run by a partnership including the master and other consultants. Would there be a conflict of interest in terms of public procurement? Would any of the individuals be on the board of directors of the foundation?
