Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

The National Cancer Registry Ireland board received a qualified audit opinion for 2022. This happens in relation to health bodies. The accounts give a true and fair view, except that they account for the costs of retirement benefit entitlements of staff only as they become payable. That is standard for many health bodies at the direction of the Minister for Health.

No. 63 is the National Haemophilia Council for 2022, which was given a clear audit opinion.

No. 64 is the Irish Blood Transfusion Service for 2022, which received a clear audit opinion.

No. 65 is the Mental Health Commission for 2022, which received a qualified audit opinion because it accounts for retirement benefit entitlements as they become payable.

A qualified audit opinion was given on the same basis to No. 66, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland for 2022. However, I also draw attention to a material level of non-compliance with procurement rules to the value of €695,000.

No. 67 is St. James's Hospital for 2022, which received a clear audit opinion. However, attention is drawn to disclosure of a material level of non-compliance with procurement rules. In this case, on a sample basis, the hospital identified a 15% rate of non-compliant procurement. It is not clear whether that can be extrapolated to the whole of procurement by the hospital, but in any event it is a significant level.

No. 68, the Dublin Dental University Hospital for 2022, received a clear audit opinion.
