Amharc ar fhreagraI take it that the Deputy is referring to commercial semi state companies of which there is only one established under the auspices of my Department.
The 2009 annual report and accounts of the Voluntary Health Insurance Board, trading as Vhi Healthcare, were received by my Department on 4 August 2010. The report has been submitted by my Department for laying before both Houses of the Oireachtas as required by the governing legislation.
Two annual reports were submitted to my Department in respect of 2008, to take account of a change in the financial accounting year implemented by the VHI during 2008. The report for the period March 2007 to February 2008 was received on 22 July 2008 and submitted by my Department for laying before the Houses of the Oireachtas on 23 September 2008. The report for the 10 month period from March to December 2008 was submitted by my Department for laying before the Houses of the Oireachtas on 23 July 2009.
