I am sorry I had to step out earlier, and if any of what I am going to ask has already been dealt with, I apologise, but I had to leave. One of the things I noted when Deputy McDonald was speaking to Mr. Swords about services and procurement was his comment that there were no contracts and that sometimes people at grade 4 and above would do that kind of thing. What kind of services are we talking about? I do not work in the HSE but I know that I could not walk into a place like that and order something without a proper contract - without doing it formally. I just wonder what kind of services are we talking about that those at grade 4 and above can do.
