My first point relates to the correspondence from an anonymous member of the HSE. It would be useful to look at the response that we get from the health authorities when it comes back, because many of us suspect that more is spent on administration than front-line services in the HSE. If true, this affects the quality of service people get.

The second matter relates to the meeting last week. I was most unhappy with the response of the representatives of the Central Bank to the questions I put to them. I understand we have written to them to get a proper response. I am going to hold on this for a while, but if we do not get a satisfactory response I will ask that we write a letter of complaint to the Governor of the Central Back. The unwillingness or inability, whichever it was, of the representatives to answer questions was absolutely unacceptable as far as I am concerned.
