I agree with Deputy Ross on the Towers Watson report. The correspondence specifically mentioned that its consent to the sharing of the report was contingent on the disclosure of a complete copy of the report. Rehab compares its salaries to industry averages, yet refers to reference and desired Rehab pay policy and philosophy. That is a little subjective and very vague. It is incredible that 12 people receive a total of €1.7 million in salaries. They gained bonuses between €6,000 and €14,000 in 2012. It is a stark and incredible figure for the ordinary person looking in. We need clarity on how this arose. The documentation refers to a management charge of €4.5 million from Rehab Care paid to Rehab Group. We need to know the breakdown of that. The correspondence from SOLAS states that 64% of the senior management salaries are funded by Rehab funds. That is two thirds of senior management salaries coming from State funding. There are major implications there. We need to get replies back from Rehab and Mr. Flannery as quickly as possible. When do we expect to hold a hearing on the matter? Have we set a date?
