It is more like turning a planet than turning a ship. When the officials from the HSE appear before the committee, the focus should be on its management system in terms of procurement. I suppose it is impossible to have a totally perfect system and that there are not going to be exceptions. In the post-Covid period, for whomever sits on this committee, there will be a few tough meetings looking back at this period, because probably everybody has been forced to make emergency purchases for PPE and all the rest of it.
