I will now deal in general terms with other issues. Officials from the Department of Finance attend the Committee of Public Accounts every week, and I presume they report to the Department on the issues that were raised. I have raised with the HSE the question of purchasing a proper financial management system. The HSE's response is that it has made the submission to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform which was working on the proposal. Has the HSE's submission been with the Department for some time and when will a decision be made as the HSE contends that its current system is not fit for purpose?
