I accept all that. There is a whole other area I want to get to. What I am asking is, when the agency gives advice, does it go into a black hole, the HSE or the Department thanks the agency and the advice is put it on a desk, or is the agency able to follow how they respond to the advice? I note, from previous sessions of the Committee of Public Accounts, that the Minister will take recommendations, but that is a very formal process. I am asking that as cases come and go and as the agency identifies risks, is there a formal process whereby they respond?
