Mr. Robert Watt:
There are 11 systems and I do not think the HSE is happy with any of them. We all support the objective of the HSE moving to an integrated financial management system. We have been working with it on that. There are aspects of how the proposed system dovetails with the financial procedures and the reporting requirements we have. Some of the discussions earlier were on effective budgeting, whether it would meet our objectives and there is an issue around technology and the technology solution that underpins it. I do not think it is with us for sanction. Ultimately we are in favour of a new financial management system. We are working with the HSE to ensure that we have the best possible solution.
