I think he called it a communication. We will see the format of that and ask for a copy of it when it is received from the Department or the HEA. That is agreed. There is an issue that we want this dealt with across the public sector generally but the specific issue we highlighted was third level education, so we will stick to that rather than broaden it across every Department and State agency. It is something we will watch in future but we will deal with the specifics of third level education, which is where this arose.

No. 2319B from Mr. Jim Breslin, Secretary General, Department of Health, dated 11 July 2019, is a response to matters raised at our meeting on 27 June in respect of the scoping inquiry being undertaken by Dr. Gabriel Scally and the delay in publishing the supplementary report. The July reply was addressed to Deputy Alan Kelly because he had raised the issue but it was also an issue for the Committee of Public Accounts, PAC. Is the Deputy happy for this letter to be published?
