HSE Financial Statement 2015
10:00 am
Mr. Tony O'Brien:
I will deal with the St. John of God issue first. I will ask Ms O'Connor to address the 2013 funding issue for Console. Dr. Smith will get some information on the audit and will deal with that in turn. The 2013 event was not St. John of God representatives telling us they were not in compliance; it was telling us that they had addressed their compliance following work done by the Comptroller and Auditor General, as a result of which having declared themselves compliant, they were out of the major process that went on with section 38 bodies. The national compliance unit, as part of the work described in the statement of internal financial control, is "rolling through the 38s". A review commenced in April, which is being carried out by external consultants from Deloitte. Did the process start in May?
