Perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General can throw some light on the report yesterday about the HSE. The Taoiseach referred to it in the Dáil when he said people should pay back the money involved. The Comptroller and Auditor General produced a draft report, which was leaked to Senators, and it showed a large lack of control in the HSE, overspending on expenses and people being overpaid and the money not being paid back. These are merely samples of what the Comptroller and Auditor General produced in a draft report. He sent it back to the HSE and somehow it leaked. It is something we should interest ourselves in.
