Mr. Tony O'Brien:

On the assumption that the provider is content with the findings of the report - clearly we will need to hear whether they are satisfied with what the report says - we will seek to move very swiftly. To go back to the Resilience Ireland issue, in the interests of fairness, Dignam says under the heading "Procurement":

I do not believe that there is any basis in the documentation for finding that the party eventually engaged, Resilience Ireland, or any of its personnel, lacked independence. However, I believe, on the basis of the documentation, that the procurement process adopted by the HSE cannot be seen as having been adequate ...

What we are doing is making sure the processes are adequate but without an inference that there was any lack of independence on the part of Resilience Ireland based on that finding from Dignam.
