That is the point. It is very clear in the report, from my own reading of it, that we did know who knew what was going on. If there is no accountability, we are just providing window-dressing and playing along with the system. Arising from the recommendations, would HIQA advise that the HSE and the Department should come before the committee and outline why they have not implemented the eight recommendations or when they are going to do so? Are they going to come back to HIQA and say they will do it? Mr. Quinn has said in respect of seven of HIQA's statutory reports that there have been deficits in some of them in terms of the findings. Am I right in saying that?
