We will endeavour to do that. Bear in mind that on Tuesday, 22 October, it looks like we will have that meeting with the OPW. On Thursday, 24 October, the same week, we will engage with the Health Service Executive regarding the 2023 financial statements. Specific areas of interest flagged for this meeting will include the roll-out of integrated financial management system, IFMS, non-compliant procurement, staffing and remuneration and capacity of University of Limerick Hospitals Group. We agreed previously, and it came up again at a recent meeting, not to have too wide of an agenda with the HSE and that we would try to keep a focus on those issues. Last week it was agreed to schedule a meeting on 7 November with Children’s Health Ireland and the National Paediatric Hospital Development Board. I do not know if we have any indication as to whether we have been successful or not in scheduling that. There is nothing back on that yet but we will keep members apprised of this as I know they are anxious about it.

Members will be aware that the C and AG published his report on the accounts of the public services on Monday of this week. The report contains 24 chapters, highlighting issues for further consideration by this committee. It is proposed that we include chapter 4 on adapting flood risk management to climate change impacts and chapter 5 on delivery of rapid build housing on the agenda for our upcoming meeting with the OPW. In light of that report, is that agreed?
