The briefing document also refers to PPE provision, which is likely to be with us well into next year, unfortunately, even with a vaccine. It will have to be rolled out across certain sectors first. We have heard at previous committee meetings - it might have been at the Committee of Public Accounts - that the HSE has relatively high levels of non-compliance with public procurement processes. In the past few years, it has fluctuated up and down. It was 28% in 2018. It was 49% in 2016. The Department and the HSE are doing huge amounts of work to try to lower those numbers. Has the HSE undertaken a procurement review on the PPE procurement process for quarters 2, 3 and 4?
