There was a question about the appropriateness of private agencies being contracted for emergency care. I understand this is the case. I have reviewed what Dr. Shannon has raised. We are reviewing the legal and policy perspective in that regard. That is under review.
The final question was on the audit for section 13. I believe I have answered those questions already except the last couple of aspects of the question. It is absolutely not the case that Tusla will have a veto over the recommendations. Moreover, I will receive the report.
