Some years ago the committee dealt with the HSE which was paying out money to section 38 and section 39 organisations for health services provided. The organisations were all brought into line and told that they would not receive a full allocation until their audited accounts were submitted. It would be dreadful not to have those controls in place from the beginning in this growing sector. The State could be paying money to organisations that have not presented audited accounts for two years. I want to head off this issue at the pass.
