Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (Supplementary)

Mr. Tom Byrne:
Internally last month we have established a team of representatives of the hospital groups, chaired by me. My priority in the first six months was to ensure our surgeons were signing off on at-risk claims to get them in. The figures speak for themselves. There is a slow down in what is coming back to us. We are addressing that through the new legislation and this focus group to address these specific issue so we can come to an agreement to get prompt payment and not a slip in debtor days.
