I thank the Chair for accommodating me and I thank all the witnesses. There are very many questions I could ask but, given the small amount of time I have available, I will just ask some specific ones.

The NTPF is saying there are strong financial oversight procedures and processes in place to administer the insourcing funds and yet we saw the issues in Beaumont, which incidentally were quite late in coming to public attention. I ask the NTPF to explain what happened in Beaumont. What is the situation now? The media coverage appears to suggest that doctors were not aware that their time was being invoiced to the NTPF as opposed to directly to the hospital. I ask for an explanation of that.
