Good afternoon. I want to highlight one area and ask the witnesses' views on it. Some €14 million was paid to Roqu for Chinese ventilators. I understand that might have been done by the HSE. The standard of the machine was not the standard specified by the HSE. I understand that an internal audit was done. How would lessons about procurement be fed back to the OGP to enhance risk assessment even in an emergency scenario? I accept that this was done early in the pandemic but it was not done directly with the producer. A third party was involved and there was a host of other issues. How does that kind of issue feed into enhancing procurement and lessons learned?
