We hear about relatively minor capital projects, for example, the publicly funded purchase of an MRI scanner in Mullingar, where alterations have been made to a contract and the HSE insists a tender must take place for those alterations. It is not a massive amount of money. One then sees it jumping off the page that there is a huge level of expenditure within the envelope of the HSE that still has not gone through competitive tendering. There is a frustration when one sees that.
