Our job here is to ensure that the public are getting value for money. In the context of the HSE, the public are not getting value for money. I cannot believe the number of overruns and write-offs relating to the HSE that have been flagged. I want to know if this has happened before with the HSE, what penalties were imposed and what were the actions and results. Who is ultimately responsible? Somebody has to take the hit for this. It cannot go on. This is a complete waste of taxpayers' money. I thank the Comptroller and Auditor General for highlighting everything. I just want to know who is ultimately responsible for all these overruns and write-offs within the HSE. It is a complete waste of taxpayers' money.
