I propose to take Questions Nos. 237 and 262 together.

It is a matter for the board of the HSE to review annually the matter of performance related award payments to the CEO and a number of senior managers in accordance with the contractual provisions applicable to the individuals involved and the provisions of the approved arrangements which govern these matters. The HSE has advised me that no determination has been reached in relation to such matters and no proposals in relation to such bonuses are currently scheduled for consideration by the Board of the HSE.
