My only issue is that, as the Chairman said, we could nearly have a public accounts committee for the HSE. I had already written down the three issues referred to by the Comptroller and Auditor General. I would like to see the issue of capital spending in the HSE dialled up in here as soon as possible across a range of different areas. Everyone has been talking about the issue of drugs for many years. It is one we need to go through, along with the fair deal scheme, which everyone accepts needs to change. These are three very important items. I suggest to the Chairman that we have a HSE week in respect of a number of these issues if the committee agrees because they are very important issues.
