We have sought some information so the next course of action, which we will discuss in our work programme, is to produce a report. Can we come to it in the work programme in a few minutes? That is the next step. We will come to it on the agenda in a few minutes.

The next item is No. 946B from Mr. David Keating of the national patient safety office in the Department of Health providing details as requested by the committee regarding the employment status of the 101 inspectors in the Health Information and Quality Authority, HIQA. We will note and publish it.

The next item is No. 952B dated 27 November 2017 from Mr. Michael Nolan of Transport Infrastructure Ireland providing follow-up information on a number of items requested at our meeting of 12 October. We should note and publish it.

The next item is correspondence No. 954B dated 28 November 2017 from Ms Madeleine Halpin of Tusla providing an update on the implementation of recommendations made in the Geoffrey Shannon report. Ms Halpin also corrects two inaccuracies with regard to details given at the meeting with Tusla last month. We will note and publish that as well.

The next item is category C correspondence dated 30 November 2017 from Deputy McDonald on matters raised in a "Prime Time" programme on hospital consultants. I am sure the Deputy would like to speak on that.
