There is one particular aspect. We could have the Department of Health and the HSE in every week because there are so many streams of things that we would really like to get at. There is one particular paragraph in the CSO 's correspondence: "Use of the Benefacts database has helped the CSO to establish the universe of such organisations [We are aware that section 38 and section 39 organisations is outsourced] and has enabled the capture of all non-HSE income and expenditure of these organisations for inclusion in the System of Health Accounts, ensuring that estimates for health expenditure in Ireland are comprehensive. " That in itself is of value. I get the impression that there are people who are happy to see this closed down because it would limit the amount of information.
