Public Accounts Committee
Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive
2:00 am
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
To be fair, I do not have the immediate insight to be able to say that. What I would say to the Deputy - and I was here long before the HSE and the health board system - is that local practices develop and when things are being purchased locally or small purchases are being made one gets everything from three quotes in the post, to an official advertised process, to no process at all. If the Deputy looks at the way our spend has increased, I am not sure if the rate of non-compliance is growing rapidly. The IFMS is going to help us knock that on the head.
