Those are two issues so far. We have to deal with everything in the Comptroller and Auditor General's report as the year goes by. I am just trying to identify a few for early on. The Comptroller and Auditor General has a chapter on the oversight of approved housing bodies, but that is for the Department.

The next issue we want to deal with somewhere along the line is this hepatitis C treatment fund that has now cost €1.5 billion. I know it is an historical issue, but we are on the verge of starting another one of these issues with CervicalCheck. Someone will be here in five or ten years. I want to interrogate the Department. We want to know at the end of that process what lessons were learned to prevent some of these major scale issues arising again. We have not seen evidence that they worked. I want to address that issue because it is such a big issue. The State Claims Agency's handling of the CervicalCheck issues is on our work programme.

For the next meeting members should indicate if they want any particular issue from the Comptroller and Auditor General's report to be discussed early. We have mentioned three or four. I will ask the secretariat to try to work on those three or four.
