People may consider this boring but it is the role of the Committee of Public Accounts. We are actually really on the job when we are doing this type of work and compiling information in respect of every single reference to non-compliant procurement in 2019. It is an issue to which we will return, time permitting. We are doing an important job and we will continue to do it diligently. We will note and publish that.

The next item of correspondence is No. 2590B from Mr. Ray Mitchell, assistant national director of Health Service Executive, dated 28 November 2019 providing further detail requested by the committee regarding the national integrated staff records and pay programme. He recognises that there were some teething problems with the system when it was introduced. These issues affected approximately 200 staff, which equates to 1% of the people involved. He gives a comprehensive response. Does Deputy Catherine Murphy want to comment?
