We acknowledge that HIQA is being proactive in that regard, but it just does not seem to be sustainable. There is such a diversity, with many different companies and bodies doing what appears to be, in simplistic terms, similar work. Is there any potential conflict of interest in the organisations and companies HIQA is hiring? Everything is going through appropriate procurement processes. If there are former board members or board representatives that are now members of these companies, is there anything to be concerned about in that regard?
