Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statement 2020 and Related Matters: HSE

9:30 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

In respect of the company that is taking proceedings against the HSE, it is because we cancelled an order - appropriately, in our view - for particular medical equipment, namely, ventilators. That company is not happy with that particular action. That is the case where a company has taken action against us.

In the other examples, the challenges mostly concern ventilators and the pursuit of what we provided for the amount of money that we have not yet got value for. I stress that we are, and have successfully so far, adopted commercial negotiations. However, there is always the potential for these to become legal issues. The challenges typically concern ventilators.
