I apologise for my absence during the presentation. However, I have read the submission. I seek clarity on a matter with which the Chairman may have to assist me. Since our earlier discussion, I have received a communication which indicates that officials from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform spoke to officials from the Department of Health about this meeting. Is that the case? In a discussion earlier today members noted that it would be inappropriate if the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform were not represented at this meeting. Was an understanding reached between the Departments of Health and Public Expenditure and Reform that the former would represent the latter at this meeting?
