Ms Rebecca Maher:

When we receive submissions for funding, the referring hospital has to explain to us how it proposes to deliver the additional activity. Part of that is it has to clearly identify to us how it is additional to the core activity. As Ms Brady previously mentioned, the majority of our insourcing funding is for what we call payroll insourcing, whereby consultants and other staff work overtime hours either in twilight clinics or at the weekends to provide additional capacity. How we know that happens in these outside times is through the dates that are returned to us on the invoices, which are checked as part of our invoicing process.
