On the allegations from the "Prime Time" programme - I accept that there is an investigation - the HSE has a procurement framework in place with Eurosurgical. To how many hospitals does it apply? Can Mr. Woods clarify the status of tendering for surgical consumables, given the issues raised in the programme? According to the HSE statement following the programme, there are no issues with €1.8 million worth of contracts. In the context of those contracts, what was the basis for the judgment? What did the review involve? Does the HSE plan to review past contracts with the company involved? What has been the nature of the HSE's involvement or engagement with the company?
