We are still in June but the HSE has announced its intention to publish the report at 12.30 p.m. today. At last week's committee meeting, the director general of the HSE advised the committee that he intended to issue the report to us earlier this week. Given that we have been partners on the issue and that the reason for the existence of the interim administrator is because of the heavy lifting done by members of this committee in terms of posing difficult questions to the board of the CRC and its former chief executives, I wonder why the HSE has not lived up to its commitment to provide a copy of this report, which it has been sitting on for two weeks. I welcome that it is issuing the report today because it should be published but I do not understand why we have not already received a copy.
