That is fine.
The advance payment issue was referenced by the Comptroller and Auditor General in his opening remarks. A weekly expenditure report was provided by the HSE to the Department of Health but the advance payments were not included in it. I have a question regarding the Department's perspective on this.
It is a complete blindsiding of the Department when the figures that were being provided on a weekly basis were not accurate. Is that fair to say? At what point did that process become more inclusive of all figures?
