Thank you. There was a slight disparity between what Ms Nugent was saying about how the CEO was not reappointed and what Ms Conroy was saying on behalf of the Department of Health. Ms Conroy was very firm and clear that the Minister did not consent to that appointment. The clear implication and inference of the decision of the Minister not to consent to the reappointment is that it related to all the issues we are discussing with regard to orthopaedic surgeries, notwithstanding what is contained in the HIQA report relating to the CEO. Is that Ms Nugent’s understanding too?
