I have a little over a minute left and will have a rapid-fire question section. I refer to the annual report and appendix No. 4 starting on page 100. The second MRI machine for St. Vincent's is extremely welcome and it is good to see it included under the projects completed and operational by the end of 2021. I was struck by a completion delay until after 2021. The report refers to a lease agreement for a primary care centre. My understanding was that the HSE owned many of the sites in the community healthcare organisation, CHO, 6 area, but it states that it is by lease agreement on page 102. I do not expect Mr. Mulvany to have that information to hand, but he might furnish that to the committee after today's meeting.

Page 103 refers to the National Rehabilitation Hospital, which is based in CHO 6. Phase 1 is complete while phase 2 is ongoing with discussions under way between the Department of Health and the HSE. I also note there was a 35-bed unit with possible use by acute services, which does not fall under phase 1 or 2. It is welcome nonetheless. I ask that information on that be furnished to the committee. It relates to the refurbishment of an existing vacated building.

I refer finally to appendix No. 5 on page 106 of the annual report. It struck me that the attendance of members at some of the subcommittees is quite low. What will be done about that? Is Mr. Mulvany satisfied with the attendance of the members of the committees, including the audit committee and the performance and delivery committee and others? If not, what will be done to rectify that?
