I thank Mr. McCarthy for that. Could we agree to note the listings of financial statements? Agreed. As usual, the listing of the accounts of the financial statements will be published as part of our minutes.

I will move on to correspondence. As previously agreed, items that are not flagged for discussion at this meeting will continue to be dealt with in accordance with the proposed actions that have been circulated. Decisions taken by the committee in regard to correspondence are published on the committee's web page and recorded in the minutes.

The first category of correspondence under which members have flagged items for discussion is B – correspondence from Accounting Officers and Ministers, and follow-up from committee meetings. The first is No. 1335. It is from Ms Rhonda Evans, communications manager, National Paediatric Hospital Development Board. It is dated 29 June 2022. It is an update on the previous recommendations made by the committee. At our meeting last week, we agreed to note and publish this item of correspondence. Deputy Carthy requested that we hold it over for consideration today. Does he want to comment?
