I welcome Mr. Reid and the officials. I thank them for coming in. I am not sure if this will be his final appearance before the Committee of Public Accounts, but I thank him for the information he provided and all the engagement we have had in the past couple of years, particularly during the pandemic. At the time, he gave significant time to this committee and other Oireachtas committees, and that was appreciated.

I will turn to the issue of CHO 4 as it is specifically on the agenda and Mr. Fitzgerald is here to answer questions. How many children have been involved in the review in CHO 4, particularly in respect of south Kerry, but also in north Kerry and the rest of the CHO area? On the most recent occasion Mr. Reid was before the committee, I asked what actions had been taken to engage with the affected families, and the children in particular, some of whom are now adolescents, to review their medical needs and mental health needs. Has that work been completed?
