In the particular cases of HSE procurement we were looking at this morning, the contracts went to individuals within companies in the private sector who at one time worked for the HSE. We have seen this time and again. It is as if nobody in the Departments learns the lesson. I have never seen anybody being sanctioned. Mr. Watt referred in a speech during the week that it is hard to get rid of people when they do something wrong.
