This morning the committee will hold two separate sessions, the first of which will be with representatives from the National Federation of Voluntary Bodies, the Disability Federation of Ireland, the Not for Profit Association and the Irish Congress of Trade Unions' health sector committee. In the second session, we will engage with the Department of Health and the HSE. We had invited the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to attend this second session but it declined to provide officials. The committee is extremely disappointed that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform has failed to attend this committee. We will invite it again on another occasion.
