I thank Mr. Watt for appearing before the committee and presenting his opening statement. I have a copy of a letter sent from Mr. Watt's Department to the Department of Health, dated 20 November, in which it is stated that, as the Department of Health would be aware, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform had voiced serious concerns about the governance of the children's hospital project and was assured that the arrangements in place were sufficiently robust. What serious concerns did Mr. Watt have, and if he had serious concerns, what measures did he put in place to ensure that those concerns could be allayed?
