Mr. Seán Flood:

I am sorry to cut across the Deputy but the hospitals did provide evidence. For example, they would submit an invoice on hospital headed paper. If it was for an inpatient day case or a GI procedure, there would be a discharge summary signed by a consultant. If it was for outpatient appointments, there would be an attendance sheet. They would provide the evidence. As Ms Brady said earlier, there is an element of trust. For example, we do not have the ability to go in and check consultant contracts or check their scheduling. We are a publicly funded body giving public funds to another publicly funded body. There has to be that element of trust. We have stopped invoices and we have queried invoices.
