I welcome all the witnesses. I will put questions to the Department of Health first. With regard to the financial statements, a contract was awarded relating to University Hospital Galway, UHG, to the value of €62,000 but there was no public procurement process. The reason cited by the Department was that specialist expertise was required. What expertise was required? To whom was the contract awarded? Had the person who got the contract any connection with the Department or the HSE?
