Mr. David Gunning:
All the recommendations in the PwC report have been implemented. The NPHDB had some recommendations. That project assurance one rested with the HSE and the Department and that has been actioned. The PwC report was produced five years ago in April 2019. The board of the NPH formed an implementation subcommittee, which disbanded a couple of years afterwards once all of those particular issues had been addressed. In terms of enhancing the capacity of the executive of the development board, we are the two additions to the executive that were funded via the PwC implementation report in terms of adding a chief executive and a dedicated project director. They were the actions that were taken. All of us would be quite happy that those recommendations were implemented.
