Okay.

We have dealt with the justice correspondence. The next correspondence is No. 1085B from Mr. Robert Watt, Secretary General, Department of Health, dated 17 February 2022. It relates to reports in the media of alleged recordings of internal meetings of officials in the Department of Health. The Secretary General states that they were made and released without the knowledge of those involved which has led to partial statements "that were taken out of context and also contained some factual inaccuracies". The Secretary General goes on to correct some of those inaccuracies and to clarify the Department’s position on some of the matters raised. It is proposed to note and publish this item. Deputy Catherine Murphy and I have flagged this correspondence.
