Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2021
Financial Statements 2021: HSE
Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health

9:30 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

As the Deputy will see in the report, 328 was the number that it got before the extended surge. That number never went up. That was reported at the end of March. The chair of the same group looking at this – in fairness to the Comptroller and Auditor General, it is in the report – was clear in his email of 30 March that they had not settled on a final number and were still in a position where they needed to get every available ventilator.
