The next issue of concern is consultants not signing forms for insurers and the difficulty this is causing. In one case, the HSE had not received €500,000 because a consultant in Galway had not signed the form for the insurers. There is approximately €15 million outstanding owing to the failure of consultants to sign forms. Has this been addressed? If not, how does Mr. O'Brien intend to address it?
