The Chair will be aware that I wrote to him on Monday seeking that we bring back the CEO of Children's Health Ireland, CHI, at the earliest possible opportunity. The committee is now in agreement that we will write to the CEO of CHI to ask a number of questions about the revelations by The Sunday Times about the National Treatment Purchase Fund. My question in this instance is for the Comptroller and Auditor General. Has he had the opportunity to review the board minutes from this period in 2021? Will he tell the committee the extent to which the issues revealed by The Sunday Times were flagged in those minutes? The issue was not brought to the attention of the Committee of Public Accounts by the new CEO when she appeared last Thursday.
