The HSE is different from a section 38 or section 39 organisation. The role of the Comptroller and Auditor General is to audit and oversee State bodies and bodies associated with the State. The Comptroller and Auditor General has not told me that he or his office is looking for any additional powers or a change in remit. The HSE is subject to the scrutiny of the Comptroller and Auditor General and I sat in many meetings with the Chairman where the HSE was required to answer questions about its use of money.
