There is a serious concern about health spending. This arises in particular when the HSE and the Department of Health are before the committee to discuss their financial accounting systems. There are concerns about accountability for and traceability of the use of public funds and about the value for money reports. We are very light about how we assign funds to areas in health where funding is required. There is frustration at this committee when the HSE and Department of Health come before us. Have any recommendations been implemented to date in 2022 that Mr. Moloney can share with us with regard to value for money or spending reviews in health?
