Yes. We will note and publish it in the meantime but will hold over the discussion of it. We will come back to it on our work programme.

The next item of correspondence is No. 1537 Bfrom Mr. Jim Breslin, Secretary General of the Department of Health, dated 24 August 2018 providing follow-up information requested by the committee about general adult mental health services; costs of hiring private investigators in relation to consultants' compliance with contracts; non-disclosure of legal costs in the accounts; an explanatory note on the three different schemes available for treatment abroad; an up-to-date note on the National Children's Hospital funding; and a note following the review of recovery of moneys from insurance companies. Can we agree to note and publish this? We will keep it on our work programme and come back to discuss it in further detail.

The next item of correspondence is No. 1538 B from Mr. Ray Mitchell of the Health Service Executive, providing follow-up information regarding records relating to quality assurance visits to include minutes of discussions and final reports submitted following the visits. I presume this is in connection with CervicalCheck. We will include that as part of our further discussion. Can we agree to note and publish this? Agreed.

The next item of correspondence is No. 1558 B from Professor Patrick O'Shea, president, University College Cork, providing details on procurement matters. The information provided will feed into our next periodic report. We will be coming back to that and will note and publish it for today.

The next item of correspondence is No. 1560 B from Dr. Barry O'Connor, president, Cork Institute of Technology, providing a detailed note requested by the committee on the preparation of terms of reference for the KPMG review of anonymous allegations against CIT in 2014. We note and publish that.
