Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Nursing Home Charges: Department of Health
Mr. Robert Watt:
The issue of the disclosure of the amounts in relation to this matter has been dealt with extensively by decisions that were made by the Comptroller and Auditor General in 2010 and 2011 on how this would be accounted for in the accounts of the Department of Health. I will be very happy to come back to set out for the committee the position in this regard. The Comptroller and Auditor General reached a decision with the Accounting Officer at the time, which was agreed by the Committee of Public Accounts and the Government in terms of how this would be accounted for. It is set out. I will send a note to the Chair about this matter.
