I do not intend to encroach on the data protection legislation but, in regard to the information we have not been given on people who will be receiving payments from Rehab in coming years, I will be insisting that the HSE seek this information when it is negotiating with the organisation under the section 39 agreement. I will chastise the HSE and other State organisations if they hand over €95 million without at least getting that information. Will all of the information that the HSE and other State bodies might require under the section 39 agreement be supplied to them? I am not saying this would apply to the committee because we are limited by data protection considerations, but it would not be acceptable for the information to be withheld from the HSE, as Rehab's paymaster general.
