Mr. Robert Watt:

I discussed this last week. Deputies Cullinane and Carthy asked me about it last week. It is more detailed and more complex and we will have to come bac on it. We just do not have the information now. I apologise for that. We are engaging with the HSE and going through the files. The files, as the committee can imagine, since they relate to historical issues, are paper files. It is a matter of finding the files and going through them. We are doing that. I understand that the issue is with the definition of inpatient services and in respect of the Eastern Health Board. In the three cases in Dublin it was decided that the services were more of the nature of inpatient services and could be encompassed within the scheme. We do not know the extent to which that may have wider applicability outside of those cases that were encompassed in that appeal decision.
