Cuirim fáilte romhaibh. The witnesses are all very welcome. I really appreciate their presence. It is important that we have trust in public bodies. I am a firm believer in public bodies and also in doing the best we can to hold them to account, which is not very good in the ten minutes I have. I have read all of the documentation. I realise the volume of patients that CHI and its staff put through CHI hospitals every day of every year.

I will deal with CHI first and then come to the NTPF as best I can. When Ms Nugent was last here she talked about openness and accountability. I went back over her statement. I am not going to be personal in any way but honestly I have no idea how she did not highlight the internal report from 2021-22. Why did Ms Nugent not do that?
