With regard to the overall approach, we know proper planning and procurement were not in place. There was an effort to procure 3,500 ventilators without the approval of the Department. Does Mr. Mulvany agree there was a breakdown in command and control at senior level within the HSE around the whole process of dealing with the response and the procurement of ventilators, PPE and the hand sanitiser required?
