Could I ask Professor Keane about figure 2.10 in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General where there is a large increase in the number of non-targeted procedures? It is estimated that just two out of five of the cases examined were true surgical day cases. Paragraph 2.8 says that based on a review of day cases admitted under surgeons in 2011, the Accounting Officer estimated that just two out of five of the cases examined were true surgical day cases. In other words, what we are seeing is incorrect headings attaching to statistics that were reported. Could someone update me on the cause of that and where the HSE is now in terms of remedying the situation of incorrect allocations?
