Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive

Mr. Liam Woods:
It is. The Senator asked were there any earlier indications. There was a phone call to St. Columcille’s in 2011 which was a complaint in this general area. No specifics were provided. Internal audit undertook a general review to determine whether it could identify any concerns under several suppliers. That did not turn anything up at that time. There was an anonymous allegation that was never followed through that came by phone to a staff member at St. Columcille’s Hospital. That is the only earlier engagement we are aware of.
