That is fine. I do not get a sense that the HSE had identified areas where productivity needed to be improved. What sectors or staff categories need to be addressed? How did the HSE tackle that issue? I have a sense that it is a bit of a blur. This brings us back to the fact that it has never been possible to get a clear line of sight of health funding because the data systems were, and continue to be, weak in many areas. There was no integrated financial management system for a very long time. It was unbelievable that the organisation in the country with the largest budget had no integrated financial management system.

I gather some of the blame for that was down to it not being funded by the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform. Funding was provided in recent years. Where are we now with regard to the establishment of a fully functioning integrated financial management system?
