Public Accounts Committee

Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies

9:00 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We are working through a range of issues with St. John of God after the internal audit report that was referred to here previously and the external review as part of Deloitte's review of all the section 38 and section 39 organisations. As part of that, one of the recommendations requires a repayment. St. John of God is participating well in a task force set up by the HSE, which I chair, to work through a range of those issues. At the moment, it is not yet finished, but it is accelerating its efforts to provide sufficient information. We will go through that particular recommendation and the rest and we will have to reach a conclusion on all of them. I am not saying that the order has accepted that a repayment will be made, but it has certainly accepted that it needs to work through its recommendations with us and we will need to reach a conclusion on that.
