I thank Mr. McCarthy for the clarification but I was simply relaying the content of the letter.

Correspondence No. 2126C is from a medical doctor, dated 18 April 2019, with questions for the committee regarding the national children’s hospital. We will be meeting members of the hospital board next week. We will note this item and raise it next week, as appropriate. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Correspondence No. 2127C is from Deputy Mattie McGrath, dated 19 April 2019, requesting the committee to arrange a meeting with the HSE in relation to fees paid to private and voluntary nursing homes. The Comptroller and Auditor General is working on a related report which is expected later this year. I propose we await the report before taking any further action. Is that agreed? Agreed.
