We note the reports, statements and accounts received.

The work programme is on the screen. A meeting has been scheduled for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, 17 December 2013 for the sub-committee to discuss NAMA. All committee members will be notified about that meeting.

We have scheduled a second meeting with the HSE and the Department of Health on 27 February 2014 to examine chapter 21, budget management in the HSE; Vote 38 - health and Vote 39 - Health Service Executive. At that meeting we can also examine pay levels in the voluntary health sector. When the HSE representatives come before us next week, we should remind them that members may want to address budgetary issues.

Can we agree our agenda for the meeting at 10 a.m. on 14 November when we will meet representatives of the HSE and the Department of Health to discuss the 2012 annual report of the Comptroller and Auditor General - chapter 22, eligibility for medical cards?
