Dr. Geraldine Smith:

The annual plan of 2014 for the HSE internal audit service is placing significant emphasis on auditing the section 39 agencies.

We have audited section 39 agencies on a sample basis over the years. We also examine the HSE's monitoring processes with regard to service level agreements and accounts. For 2014 we will audit a number of section 39 agencies.
