Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Section 38 and Section 39 Agencies: Health Service Executive

1:20 pm

Ms Laverne McGuinness:

I do not think anyone could be 100% confident about information. One depends on data input into the system, which may be incorrect. We have an internal control system in place in case somebody puts in an invoice incorrectly, to detect whether it is error or fraud. There will always be a margin of error. We look forward to getting the new financial systems, in time. They will improve the availability, accuracy and the timeliness of the information, which is as important as anything else. Having the information at a key time is critical to making a decision.
