That is the point; we should see it. I am only relaying what it is telling us. It is telling us that there was an earlier draft, which had the table and did make the distinction between the cost of care for Grace and whether that would then involve a net increase or decrease in its funding. That was the source of the contention. That did not make its way into the final report and as the question then is why not, I also want to hear from the author of the report. The author of the report needs to come before the committee because this chimes with a point I was making about the third level sector, where these type of organisations are being asked to come in and do so-called independent reports. I am asking how independent they are. What process is used? Is it lending itself to reports coming to us that really give clear answers to the questions being put? I am very concerned about it and I think this is a good case for us to examine whether this is the case. Perhaps it is the case, perhaps it is fair and perhaps they have answered the question but I have concerns. My point is that the HSE needs to come back, including the director general and Mr. Healy, who was at the heart of the comments that caused the difficulty in the first place, as well as the author of the report.
