Public Accounts Committee

2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 39 - Health Service Executive

3:25 pm

Dr. Geraldine Smith:

What we have ascertained is that the payments appear to have been in pay for some time. The level of the audit did not go into when they were paid. One of the issues we looked at was to try to ascertain when they were approved. From the audit report, it is clear there was a distinct lack of documentation. We cannot say for definite when the payments commenced, but it is fair to say they probably were in pay for some time.
