I think the HSE knew very well for years what people were being paid and there are people in it who would make the same argument as me. It has been railroaded into this because it was not doing its job. There is a danger for the health sector and those organisations, including section 38 organisations, that this is too confined. I believe in the free market, even when it involves individuals, and that paying someone over the odds can benefit an organisation. This is fair game for the Committee of Public Accounts and very one-sided. There needs to be a debate about it.
