Mr. Liam Woods:

Key areas we target more generally are financial supports in areas such as procurement, logistics and the better use of capital within the organisation. There are a number of areas that are part of the wider strategy of the HSE that would be supported by having accountants. Obviously, other areas are the management of budgets and variance management within the distributed budget base of the HSE.
