(1)–(2) I can confirm that in January I met with
the organisation that the member referred to. The representatives raised a
number of issues with me, and some of those went to issues of what I have
described as broader irregularities. I can confirm that the consistent advice I
have received from the department was that there were no irregularities in how
the billing was being conducted at that health service.
