Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

My understanding is not everyone who took those 329 cases applied first under the scheme, but a lot are likely to have done so. They would have been processed under the scheme and refused. Any cost up to that point should be reported in the €485 million in our accounts. Any cost beyond that point would not be reflected under the scheme costs. If the HSE incurred at the initial stage pre-2013 any cost from processing those cases, that would be in our accounts, but we have not been processing those cases or leading on that for some years, as the Deputy mentioned.
