There is an increasing demand for the public provision of services. That is very clear when there is a private operator but sometimes, when there is a voluntary operator, that same call is not made. It is a policy issue maybe rather than a matter for Mr. Mulvany. I sometimes feel we do not subject section 39s to the same level of scrutiny regarding value for money. I ask for a note from the representatives to respond to the committee regarding some of the issues raised in that 2016 report about how the HSE is responding to concerns raised.
