No. Mr. O'Brien told this committee that the view would be formed on the basis of the Deloitte report, and it now seems that question was not within its terms of reference. There is still an ongoing investigation.

There is the key matter of the draft report that we have not seen. The whistleblowers wrote to this committee and have concerns that elements in the draft report did not make their way to the final report. The witness has given the view of the author of the report, which is fine, and indicates table 3.3, which has been referred to, was not removed at the behest of the HSE but for other reasons. The information was subsumed into a different table. The service providers have told me they were told by Deloitte that the only reason the table was removed was because the HSE insisted on it being removed.
