Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

The Deputy is correct. We do not have a single financial system and therefore we do not have a single financial assets register. Registers are kept by the individual areas on the systems of the former health boards and by the individual voluntary bodies. The HSE's integrated financial management system, IFMS, project will deliver 100% of the HSE onto a single instance of a national financial procurement system during 2025. The first go-live date for that, for about 40% of the country in the east, is 3 July this year. However, as the report calls out, we did have a centralised database held by our national clinical engineering division as part of estates which turned out to be accurate to within 2%. There was a difference of about 15 ventilators in the count between that central unit and what came back from hospitals. The totals were somewhere in the order of 713 versus 730.
