It came from the Chartered Accounts Voluntary Advice centre. It is a group of chartered accounts, which provides free advice and took it up with us, but the personal information should not have been sent to us, which is why we are not circulating it.

No. 1521 is from Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice, dated 14 August, forwarding correspondence requesting the committee to make an inquiry with the HSE regarding charges for medical care. The correspondence has not been circulated because there are some libel and general data protection regulation, GDPR, concerns. There is also considerable personal information. At Deputy Fitzmaurice's request, I met him and the person who made the complaints before the summer recess and asked them to send us a detailed letter. We will not circulate this. I will go back to Deputy Fitzmaurice and ask for the points to be made in a fresh letter without the personal details next time. It relates to the possibility of improper or illegal charging of residents for incontinence wear at the Brothers of Charity Services in Roscommon and the right of those residents to a refund. The matter relates to the general governance of sections 38 and 39 organisations. I propose we write to the HSE to establish whether it is satisfied that all residents who were improperly or illegally charged for incontinence wear at the Brothers of Charity Services in Roscommon have been refunded and to provide a note on the HSE's oversight of this matter and how and whether the matter has been fully dealt with. Is that agreed? Agreed. If members wish, we will redact or just revise the letter so people can see it.
