On 18 October, we sought a timeline on when the Department of Health's value for money review of the nursing homes support scheme would be published. That was one issue. We also sought a timeline outlining when the committee can expect to receive the report prepared by the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board, which outlines progress on the national paediatric hospital project to date, including analysis of the final cost. We will note that we have not received a response to the letter we sent on 18 October. We will add in the additional points. I find it totally unacceptable. Here is the biggest capital project and not alone can the Committee of Public Accounts not get answers to our questions but we cannot even get the Department to respond. It is totally unacceptable.
