Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I think there is some explanation in the appendix. For example, on the laboratory payments, they say it is often neither feasible nor practical to go to the market to seek competitive quotes, that is, the laboratory chosen is that with the expertise required and with which there is an established relationship and level of confidence. These are explanations that they have provided previously but it is important to keep the emphasis on it and keep drawing attention to it.
