Very briefly, on the concept of supernumerary positions, this is the first time it has come up regarding the positions in LIT. I received recently correspondence from the HSE stating it is unable to provide information on the number of supernumerary positions, if any. Does the Comptroller and Auditor General examine this in the other organisations he audits? It hit the headlines when it came out that three people did not have positions for a number of years. How widespread is this?
