Public Accounts Committee

HSE Financial Statements 2015 and 2016
Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016

9:00 am

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

I wish to be clear. What happens with these reviews is that the firm carrying out the review goes through a due diligence process whereby it shares elements or the entirety of the document with the individuals concerned for their comments, fact-checking, accuracy, interpretation and so on. I am aware that the people carrying out the review, who are from Deloitte, are currently working through the responses they have received in the period since the beginning of this month.

As the commissioner, I have not received the report. The only person who could reject the report on behalf of the HSE is the commissioner. Individuals who are dealing with references to themselves can of course express their views about the accuracy or otherwise of what is being reflected in a draft report.
