Bear with me for a second. I just want to make a point first. Mr. Reid is the head of the HSE. There is a statutory obligation on the HSE to furnish these reports to the Minister. I already have this information through a response to a parliamentary question. The reports for 2015 to 2020, inclusive, were not submitted to the Minister. That is a breach of the law. Mr. Reid is the head of the HSE. Why is it the case that, since 2014, none of these reports has been furnished to the Minister for Health as prescribed in law?
