I thank the witnesses for clarifying that issue. The following groups are voluntary hospice groups, Galway Hospice, Marymount Hospice, Cork, Milford Hospice in the mid-west, North West Hospice, Sligo and St. Francis Hospice in Raheny. All of these facilities have confirmed to the HSE that they were directed by it to implement pay cuts under both the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest, FEMPI, Act and the Haddington Road agreements of 2010 and 2013 and that all resulting savings arising from these cuts were fully recouped by the HSE at the time. Can the witnesses confirm, from a HSE perspective, that what I have just said is correct?
