The Health Service Executive has advised that the internal audit report has not yet been issued. It has indicated that it is on the agenda for the executive's audit committee at its next meeting on Thursday, 27 April 2006 and that it is expected the report will be published in the coming weeks. This process will have to be completed before any progress can be made on the issues in question.
