Mr. Robert Watt:
There is an issue about the financial management system in health. The Department has to modernise it and I know that is on its work programme. It is an enormous project because it merged the different systems in the health boards. The Department has always struggled with the fact that it has never had an integrated system. It is aware of the need to make improvements.
