I welcome what I regard as the improvements in the governance standards and the new documents that the HSE has put together. When I put this point to St. Vincent's last week it responded with a media statement to the effect that this was a reasonable question and one that it would consider. I ask it to strongly consider it for the reasons that Mr. O’Brien has correctly given, to ensure that the public can have absolute confidence in the robustness of fund-raising structures for charitable organisations.

I want to move on to page 6 of the 2011 accounts of St. Vincent’s Healthcare Group. I do not know whether the witnesses have a copy of them.
