Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed)

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
It depends on the threshold involved. We could have a separate discussion about the individual operational decisions. We make judgments in operational decisions and sometimes we get them wrong. We would have to have a proper discussion about all the elements of that decision. As a governance issue and in the context of the overall HSE, it is unreasonable to expect the Department to be aware of spending at that level.
