I have temporarily taken the Chair to allow Deputy MacSharry to ask questions. I remind members that we are joined by the Comptroller and Auditor General and Ms Ruth Foley from his office. There are three organisations before us, including the Department of Health, represented by Mr. Jim Breslin, Secretary General and Accounting Officer, Mr. Tony Holohan, chief medical officer and Ms Mary Jackson, principal officer. While Mr. Tony O'Brien and Mr. McCallion have left, we still have representatives from the HSE, namely, Dr. Philip Crowley, national director, quality improvement division, Mr. Liam Woods, national director, acute hospital services, and Ms Maura Lennon, head of legal services. From the State Claims Agency, we have Mr. Ciarán Breen, director, Mr. Cathal O'Keeffe, head of clinical risk, and Ms Ann Duffy, senior clinical risk manager. As there are three groups of witnesses, it would be helpful if members would name the organisation to which they are directing the questions they ask. Deputy MacSharry has 20 minutes.
