Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

As Deputy Catherine Murphy rightly pointed out, non-compliance is a serious issue and will take a number of years to resolve. As regards the HSE spend, our target is to bring the total procurement spend of in excess of €2.2 billion inside the framework. As Mr. Connaghan stated, at the end of 2015 approximately €488 million of contracts were in place between the HSE and the Office of Government Procurement, OGP. That figure has now risen to €1.1 billion.
