I understand. We engage with the Department of Health at official level beyond weekly on issues that are raised publicly and that matter to both Departments. Yes, we do. The understanding of both the Department of Health and my Department regarding the use of public money by the HSE and our health and social services has, in my view, very significantly improved and changed in recent years. We accept there are issues we need to do better on. I am aware of the reports raised by the Chairman and the material supplied by Mr. Corr. We look at these issues all of the time with the Department of Health, regardless of whether this is prompted by information in the public domain.
