I cannot comment specifically on an individual case. I can, however, assure the Deputy that there are certain types of letters and certificates which are comprehended by the contract and in respect of which fees should not be sought or charged. The Deputy was correct to focus on the use of the term "examination which is reasonably required" in the contract in the context of the certificate or letter to which he refers. It might be advisable to consider raising this matter with the HSE's local health office in respect of any investigation he might consider appropriate in this case. If he requires my assistance in that regard or in respect of progressing matters further, I will be more than willing to provide it.
