Grace Boland (Dublin Fingal West, Fine Gael)
As my mother repeatedly reminds me, we pay for our health services three times as taxpayers: once as a taxpayer, once with our private health insurance and once at the point of service. Getting control of our overspending and making sure that goods and services are procured appropriately and there is good control and oversight are essential. In terms of the non-compliant procurement, is there a trend that Mr. Gloster sees in HSE-run facilities or sites versus voluntary groups? Is there a greater level of non-procurement in one or the other?
