Public Accounts Committee

2017 Financial Statements of the HSE
2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health

Mr. John Connaghan:

The Deputy needs to be aware of the reasons for that. We are in the process of conducting, or have conducted, exit interviews with each of those consultants to find out the issues. Clearly, we cannot recruit new people into a service if we have not listened to the concerns of those who have been in post in the past. If it is an issue of minor capital, we will address that. If it is an issue of major capital, clearly, we cannot turn that on overnight. I would expect that the first port of call would be that local discussion on the issues that require improvement and need to be put in place swiftly.
