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

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We tend to see our focus on specific agencies as a result of internal audit reports. That may not be fair to the overall bulk of the agencies.

A number of them, including the one I just mentioned, have had difficulties in the past and, as the director general said, the internal audit reports in many cases have indicated problems around certain financial control measures. That is why we have written to the chairpersons of all the section 38 and the larger section 39 organisations to highlight examples of those areas and to ask them to improve on those.
