I understand that. I would like to put something to Mr. O'Brien and the HSE, which has been giving RehabCare 98% of its funding each year. As a member of the Committee of Public Accounts, I would have hoped that Mr. O'Brien, as the HSE's Accounting Officer, would have had a far greater handle on the activities of an organisation that gets 98% of its money from the HSE. However, it seems that this template was not sent out until recently. Was that not in place before now, given that over €40 million of this organisation's funding of €43 million comes from the taxpayer? Why did we have to wait until now to talk about this template?
