Vote 38 - Department of Health
Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals

Mr. Paul Reid:

Of the €16 billion we have, €12 billion is service-related, which we can put controls on, and€4 billion is related to other activities such as pensions, the PCRS, which is drug-led and pharmacy rebates, the State Claims Agency and overseas funds. We do not fully control those areas, so they are risk areas in terms of what we can fully part our arms around and control. I am trying to concentrate particularly on the €12 billion because that is what we have control of.
