If HIQA receives queries from the public on that and it must give information on it, does HIQA...

Josepha Madigan: I thank Mr. Quinn and his team for coming in today. I found the presentation very helpful. HIQA and its role are very important. Mr. Quinn referred to integrated care and said there were other models throughout the world. I am not saying that they are in any way utopian, but Mr. Quinn said they improve efficiencies and cut down on costs. Could he specify for me a particular country that...

Josepha Madigan: I thank Dr. Lynch for his opening statement, as well as the Comptroller and Auditor General. I welcome the witnesses to the Committee of Public Accounts. I do not think I have seen so many from a Department in a few months. The role of the guardian ad litemservice, GALS, is extremely serious.
