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

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:
No, I am saying that 467 arrived into the country from new suppliers. We got 581 from our traditional suppliers, which were all usable and are either in use or in storage pending use. Of the 467 ventilators received from other suppliers, 365, or more than 80%, were donated to India, where they are in use. The other 100-plus, most of which failed our tests, are in storage.
