Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Actually, no. I want to be clear what I am saying "no" to. I am aware of the allegation. I have discussed the allegation with the organisation concerned and with this committee on several occasions. At corporate level, the HSE has not refuted that allegation.

What I have done is that I have commissioned a review into two key aspects. One is the funding provided for the care of the person we refer to as Grace. The other is the other funding relating to the other aspects of the funding relationship between the HSE and that area and the organisation. I have made a clear commitment that if this review indicates that there was unfair treatment, then it would be put right and dealt with.
