The question of HSA contracts is for the board and the CEO to enter into. I am not about to suspend or attempt to interfere in any process until I have the report from the secretary. To do so wrongly could expose the Commonwealth. To take inappropriate action whereby I could lay the Commonwealth open to civil action would be irresponsible. I am awaiting the report of the secretary, and I will consider that when I receive it.
