I would like to raise an issue. It goes back to the fact that, unfortunately, the committee ran foul of the work it was doing. It is with regard to the amount of money being paid out by the HSE to the various section 38 and 39 organisations. New procedures were put in place in this regard. Since the issue arose a number of years ago have we gone back and looked over these organisations? Between €4.5 billion and €5 billion is paid out to approximately 2,500 organisations. Is it worth looking at it again at some stage? I am not saying immediately but at some stage over the coming six months.
