I thank the Deputy. She might have to put up with me next Tuesday also because it looks like that the Chairman will not be here that day either. Deputy David Cullinane has agreed to chair the meeting from 10.45 a.m. My mother has gone to hospital.

We are joined by the Comptroller and Auditor General, Mr. Seamus McCarthy, who is a permanent witness at the committee. He is accompanied by Ms Ruth Foley, deputy director of audit. Apologies have been received from Deputies Josepha Madigan and Alan Farrell.

Are the minutes of the meetings of 31 May and 1 June agreed to? Agreed.

There are three categories of correspondence. Category A is correspondence for today's meeting. Nos. 583A(1), 583A(2), 583A(3) and 587A are the HSE's briefing documents and opening statements.
