It is very clear from this letter that the HSE was aware that these organisations were operating without strong governance. This is clearly pointed out in the second paragraph of the letter.

Is it acceptable to issue a letter 11 months after the detailed service level agreement had finished? The letter clearly states that on 31 December 2013 all service level agreements would cease. We need these agreements in place to ensure that there is robust management and oversight.
