I want to respond to the Minister because it is worse than that. I have the notes here in front of me and I want to repeat some of them back to him. The Secretary General of the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform appeared before the finance committee. He illuminated a bit more maybe on what I would call not just tensions but very stark disagreements between the Department of Health and his Department. Through the Minister, I ask Ms McGirr to respond to the following, if that is okay, because earlier she said that the letter that came to the Minister for Health from Bernard Gloster, that was then forwarded to the Minister for public expenditure and reform, would have also been sent to officials. If it is okay, I would like a response to that. Ms McGirr said that that was sent at an official level to the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform. Is that correct?
