I agree with the points that have been made but also wish to make the observation that while the HSE takes a substantial proportion of our budget and is a substantial employer and a large organisation by Irish standards, it is not a large organisation by international standards, whether the UK or the European Union, and has good links in through all the different networks we have throughout the European Union to be able to have a single integrated finance system. It is not the biggest thing in the world, and it is unacceptable that it would take this long to get it together.
