Mr. Liam Woods:

On the issue of compliance, the process was documented, as the Chair said. Yes, that is actively managed. It is part of the dialogue between me and a hospital group as we meet monthly. It is also subject to return to me by way of assurance from a hospital group that they are complying, and if they are not they flag the issues. There is a process and a strong management practice around it. The process is basically as outlined in the consultant contract itself. The clear focus needs to be on managing exceptions. Overall, compliance is quite high and the public work is approximately 83% of the total.
