Ms Anne Marie Hoey:

As Mr. Reid said, we are working towards ensuring that payments to non-HSE and non-section 38 staff are made. Working with the Department of Health, we have to increase some capacity to enable that. We have recently tendered for support and capacity to help us in that regard. That tender has now closed and it will be evaluated this week, with the award being made in the very near future. In line with the Government decision, we will move forward immediately to progress the payments to non-HSE and non-section 38 agencies.
