That is a fantastic and very clear answer and a strategy for me. There appears to be a particular number of companies that successfully tender here. I would like to think that we quality-assure and audit what they are providing because some of them specialise and some provide large-scale services into hospitals, but we must be sure that they are not undoing tenders afterwards. We need an audit of what is being delivered by comparison with what was tendered for in the first place. In one instance, the tender document, to be fair from the HSE’s point of view, could not have been clearer and would not be in dispute. I know very little about care other than what I am told but I would have known what was expected. The idea that it is being disputed a number of months later is very upsetting for the family and very disappointing.
