We are inquiring about the Crowe Howarth review mentioned in the letter. We will seek a copy of that report in the meantime, and we will come back to the other one. When we get the Crowe Howarth report we can discuss the matter further and we will keep this topic on the agenda.

Nos. 1072B and 1073B were received from the Comptroller and Auditor General and we discussed them briefly at our last meeting. One is a note relating to audit of compliance with public procurement rules and on salary and pension overpayments in 2016. We discussed this and we have written to the HSE seeking figures on salary and pension overpayments in that organisation. We had a discussion on overpayments at our last meeting. The Comptroller and Auditor General gave us an information note on audit of compliance with public procurement rules because it was evident at our last meeting that references of non-compliance with public procurement rules and various accounts were sample figures and not the total figure. We asked the Comptroller and Auditor General to provide in due course the figure and a summary extracting the information.
