It would not be that. That would mean six people had €867,000 which would be a significant amount for the wage to be driven up by. Mr. Angland might address the point about subsistence. I know HIQA staff probably have much travelling to do but if it was worked out, the €805,000 for subsistence fees and travel etc. for members of staff, if one assumes that every member of staff is travelling, it amounts to over €4,000 per person. That is obviously a significant amount. How does HIQA monitor and check that? Are there robust internal control procedures?
