Another issue relating to the HSE has come before this committee, namely consultants signing off on various contracts. When we drilled down into that we found that instead of getting better, the situation had actually gotten worse. Another issue concerned consultants who go over their limit for private work who are supposed to give back the money. What action is taken when it is proven that the agreement between the Department of Health and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform is not being fully adhered to?
