That completes correspondence.

Moving to our work programme, the committee will be happy to hear the following engagements have been confirmed: the Department of Health and the HSE next week on 26 May; the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth on 2 June; and the National Pediatric Hospital Development Board on 16 June.

As previously agreed, the secretariat has made inquiries about scheduling a meeting on 23 June to examine local government oversight and accountability. The following bodies have been requested to attend the meeting: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage; the Local Government Audit Service; and the National Oversight and Audit Commission, NOAC.

Also, at our meeting last week, members were requested to review the work programme in advance of today's meeting with a view to prioritising engagements for the three meeting slots that remain open before the summer recess. If members have not had a chance to do so I will ask the clerk to the committee to contact members in advance of next week's meeting and we will decide on the engagements at that point.

There are a couple of bits there. An Bord Pleanála came up and we discussed that we would like to have it in again. Is that agreed? Agreed. We could pencil it in for one of the slots, perhaps on 30 June.
