- Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health (16 Dec 2021) Verona Murphy: The question I posed was whether, in Mr. Watt's considered opinion, this project represents value for money.

When it comes to the commercial sensitivity of business contracts, it is between two entities involving their own moneys and business and economic strategy, so it is commercially sensitive. When it comes to the public purse, however, where...
