Public Accounts Committee

Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances

4:30 pm

Mr. Barry O'Brien:

It would be important to reflect that the business cases were submitted on the basis that one was making the business case to explain the relevance and the case to retain the allowances. We made that for 16 of the 41. Nine of the allowances we have are historic. There are people who have them red circled in some instances. There is one allowance that only two people in the entire health system have red circled to them. We were not going to make a business case for that because it was there, and obviously we were not going to abolish it. From a service delivery perspective we made the business case on cases 1 to 16 in which we said we needed those allowances.
