In your submission to the external review, you said: "the facts indicate that the Secretary to the Government knew all the critical details regarding the proposed secondment and the proposal to increase research funding." Mr Fraser told Ms Quinn, "I was not aware of the details of the processes for allocation of health research funding, or of the potential sources of such funding". He further stated; "I had no involvement in the internal Department of Health ... discussions with TCD, decisions, approvals or implementation measures relating to either the secondment or the allocation of research funding." In short he contradicts your submission. How do you respond to that?
