One of the key things mentioned today was that the accounts for 2023 had not been filed yet, even after all this debacle. I am involved in various AHBs and if they do not have their accounts in situ, then the funding model is stalled. I am surprised this continued without the accounts being submitted. As Deputy Ó Broin said, alarm bells should have rung when somebody tendered for a service that was way under what other service providers submitted. Maybe something has been put in place, but is there a case for an actuary to work out the cost of a service so we know the ballpark it should be in rather than coming in from €5 million to €15 million?
