I have heard Mr. Martin make a point at this meeting and Mr. Des Peelo make it on the national airwaves, namely, that the HSE was well aware of the arrangement - I am paraphrasing - and the CRC's contractual obligations. Nowhere in the file of correspondence between the HSE and the CRC, which went backwards and forwards over a long period, can I see any written confirmation of this from the HSE. What I can see is a written letter from Mr. Peelo to the HSE outlining what had been agreed. Sure, I could write Mr. Martin a letter and tell him what we had agreed, too. I see no written confirmation from the HSE as the paymaster and deliverer, as it were, of the service level agreement. If there is written confirmation, perhaps Mr. Martin could refer me to it.
