It would have been more helpful if this had been said initially in hearings of the Committee of Public Accounts, instead of going back to it when the Dignam report raised issues in that regard. That is my concern. The HSE should be able to identify for the committee if there are tender issues or if it did not comply with its regulations or did not have a certain level of transparency which it should have had but which it now has as it has changed the regulations. It should be made clear to the committee at that juncture.
