I agree. That was my main question and I want to follow on from Deputy Donnelly's questions. I wanted Dr. McKenna to confirm what I was saying.

I have another few brief questions. I have a deep concern that Dr. Scally's initial report on the laboratories is not accurate. Has Mr. Breslin any information on the outsourcing being worse than what was reported? We know from Dr. Scally's report that there were contracts which were not managed. Let us call a spade a spade. We all know they were not managed. There was no quality control in place. We now know from the report that as the HSE issued a contract, it was not aware that it was being outsourced again. On the scale of the outsourcing to contracted laboratories and perhaps one or two uncontracted ones, is it true that there was much more of it than was reported in Dr. Scally's report?
