I want to make a point on providing the committee with information. An internal audit report which is before us made very serious recommendations. There is an assertion from the Department of Justice and Equality that almost two years later these recommendations have not been responded to by the Rehab Group and I seek clarity from Rehab on this. I wish to make an associated point with regard to section 38 agencies. Tomorrow is D-day for compliance statements as they had until 31 January to respond. To date, the HSE has been very prompt in our exchange. I expect it will know by tomorrow who is and is not in compliance, and I ask it to correspond with us promptly as it would be helpful.
