Mr. Barry O'Brien:

As the Comptroller and Auditor General pointed out, the review is the responsibility of the Department of Health in the first instance. The public spending code pushes the responsibility for the projects onto the sanctioning authority, which is effectively the Department of Health. In terms of the wider implications for other Departments which the Comptroller and Auditor General has pointed out, we would certainly be amenable to looking after that and trying to deal with that issue. However, the review is a matter for the Department of Health.
