-----with the terms of the HSE scheme as they exceeded one of the limits provided for within that scheme. In other words, they picked out a scheme to say that is what they were following yet there was significant non-compliance or they were at variance with that scheme. How can that be avoided in the future? I am not asking for an answer that says this is only a small amount; I am asking how can these issues that have been highlighted be avoided in the future? I will conclude because I am conscious of time but I would like that question answered.

The second issue that jumped out at me related to confidentiality. The final institution highlighted is the health sector. It had a gagging clause in one of its severance provisions. The clause does not acknowledge any statutory obligation override. Clearly, it was set out that the person was obliged to keep confidentiality. There are serious issues there in terms of drawing attention to public sector, or public, issues.
