It is clear-cut. We can write to the HSE for a note on the compliance and service-level agreement it has with the Irish Wheelchair Association. I am sure this must be covered in the agreement. HSE representatives will be before us in three weeks. I understand the health committee agreed yesterday to invite members of the Irish Wheelchair Association. Can we double-check that? The representatives should not have to appear before two committees on the same issue. We will invite them if the health committee has not done so. If that committee has already agreed to invite the representatives in, we will let them go to that committee. We will not duplicate each other's work. In the meantime, we will contact the HSE, the funding body, regarding its service-level agreement with the Irish Wheelchair Association.

There are only two sets of financial statements in front of us. The Competition and Consumer Protection Commission has a clear audit opinion and the Social Insurance Fund has a clear audit opinion. Attention is drawn to Chapter 12, on the regularity of social welfare payments, which we discussed at length here last week. I am formally noting the accounts we discussed last week.

On the work programme, there is no significant change. We can keep it under review. Is there any other business?
