They all come with experience.

Given the old structure ends today, I thank those who have served on the executive board up to now and I wish the new board and CEO every success for the people of Ireland. Health is such an important issue. People want the HSE to do well. On that note, I thank all of our witnesses from the Department the Health, the HSE and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for their attendance and for the information provided, and I remind them to liaise with the secretariat on any follow-up material required to ensure we pick up on all the issues raised.

I also thank the Comptroller and Auditor General and his officials for being present. We are agreed that the clerk to the committee will follow up on outstanding information and take any agreed actions arising from this meeting. Our next meeting is on 4 July, when we will meet National Treasury Management Agency officials to examine its 2018 financial statements. Our examination will also include matters in regard to the State Claims Agency. I ask the witnesses to work out who are the most appropriate officials to attend with the State Claims Agency to deal with the medical negligence issues.
