We want to get as big a picture as possible. It is a bit like the salary overpayments. It is fine just talking about what is in front of us, but we are looking for the full picture. We acknowledge it will take a bit of time. We will note this correspondence even though we had a discussion on them at our last meeting, and I ask the Comptroller and Auditor General to keep us informed.

No. 1075B was received from Mr. Ray Mitchell, assistant national director of the HSE. This is a follow up request by the committee regarding correspondence submitted to the committee concerning legal costs and open disclosure. We mentioned it last week. I propose we note the correspondence for now and agree to have a representative from the HSE at our meeting when we discuss this issue with the State Claims Agency. In fairness, the letter is five pages long covering plans and procurements, but there no scintilla of an outcome on what we are talking about in it.
