Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

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

2:00 pm

Mr. John Swords:

I do not think so. When we have taken out nearly €0.25 billion we are unlikely to have a lot of friends. From that point of view, we have reduced costs considerably. We actually got quite a lot of complaints about how "vicious" we had been towards suppliers. I do not think we have that culture.
