Proposals on breaking down procurement because of those very issues have been given to the spokespersons on public expenditure and reform by the Department. As such, there have been briefing and I think the Minister is going to bring forward heads of a Bill in the near future. Hopefully, that will solve some of those problems. Non-compliance with public procurement rules has come up with the HSE in some of its audits also. It seems to be a yearly recurrence. If we get this breakdown, that could itself be the focus of a stand-alone discussion with the HSE or other agencies that are constantly failing to comply with the guidelines.
