I am also aware of what the Minister has said he is going to introduce in terms of changes. The costs soared in a very short period of time and nobody, in the Department of Health or the development board which includes civil servants who are obligated under a circular, saw fit to mention it to Mr. Watt, despite a memo from the HSE stating that it should be brought to the attention of the Department as part of the budgetary process.

Why did that not happen? Has Mr. Watt asked anyone those questions?
