Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
If I might just make an observation on that. The HSE is actually capturing the problem better. It still does not have a total grip on the extent to which it is not procuring competitively. What might appear to be a worsening trend is actually an improvement in the identification of the problem. I have previously pointed out that the problem in the HSE is a systemic one which it is struggling to deal with and improve.
