I thank the Deputy. We will follow through on that.

The final item of correspondence for discussion, No. R0688, is from an individual who proposes that the committee needs to revisit governance issues at the Rehab Group. There is not much information in the letter. I suggest that we write to the organisation and ask it for its internal governance policy and any information relevant to the committee arising out of the correspondent's letter. I further propose hat we seek the permission of the correspondent to forward his letter to the Rehab Group. Are members happy to do that? That is agreed. We will seek the correspondent's permission to forward the correspondence and we will ask for information on the organisation's internal policy on governance and any other information relevant to the committee. That concludes our consideration of correspondence received by the committee.

We move on now to the work programme.

On Thursday, we will engage with the Tax Appeals Commission about its 2019 financial statements as well as chapter 14, management of tax appeals, of the Comptroller and Auditor General's Report on the Accounts of the Public Services 2019. The Tax Appeals Commission has been asked to provide information on the appeals with the highest value currently on hand as well as an update on the status of the ten appeals with the highest value set out in information provided to the last Committee of Public Accounts in January 2020. The commission's briefing and the briefing from Revenue regarding the recommendations of chapter 14, which relate to the commission, have been added to the folder for Thursday's meeting.

Members will be happy to know that the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board and the Department of Health have confirmed availability for Tuesday, 13 July. That will be our last public engagement before the summer recess. Seven members will visit the hospital site on Thursday afternoon. If there are any specific areas of interest that members would like us to raise or to request briefings on at these meetings, please let the clerk know as soon as possible.

We agreed our draft work programme for the autumn at our previous meeting. Another item was mentioned today which can be added for consideration. It has been uploaded to the folder for today's meeting. Do members wish to raise any matters about the work programme? I take it that they are happy enough. That concludes consideration of the work programme. Have members any important, urgent issues or any other business that they wish to raise? I take it that members are all happy this morning.
