We should start with the HSE. The obvious examples arise within the HSE. I have been dealing with this for probably 12 or 13 years. There have been very serious issues dating back that long and reports have never seen the light of day. My suspicion is that in some cases they are not published to protect individuals within those agencies, the decisions they took or the inaction within those organisations. It is an obvious and fundamental step with regard to improving government and accountability when it comes to our system of government and the money the public expects us to have oversight of.
