I want to be associated with this committee's thanks to the staff of the HSE for their work on our behalf throughout the Covid emergency. I am going to deal with the issue of procurement but, before I do, I acknowledge that every member of this committee and every member of the public recognises that Covid presented unique challenges. Normal expectations did not apply but that did not mitigate the need for basic due diligence to be in place.

This committee has asked on a number of occasions when the review of the 2019 procurement will take place and I ask that question again of Mr. Reid.
