Public Accounts Committee

HSE Financial Statement 2015: Note 13 re Fair Deal Scheme
Health Repayments Scheme Donations Fund 2015

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

I will check if we have a figure for 2016. Those accounts are not finished yet. The figure will be going downwards. We can certainly provide it if we do not have it before the end of the meeting. The HSE's role in terms of the patient private property accounts is set out in the 2016 legislation. The trustee piece came in under the legal advice the health boards got before the HSE was established, which changed how we dealt with patient private property. There is no actual trust document; it is an implied trustee relationship but it is governed by the 2016 Act.
