Ms Laverne McGuinness:

That issue arose during our last meeting with the committee, at which time we outlined that there were two issues in hand, the first being that we had overpaid GPs in respect of patients who had died and the second being non-payment of GPs who attended to new born babies who had not been registered. We undertook at that time to revisit the issue on an individual GP basis, looking back over the years to see what was outstanding in respect of both areas. This work has been completed. There will be no netting off because obviously the same GP may not be involved in both cases. It is intended that this matter will be rectified on 14 November 2012. As such, the recoupment will be made at that time. Discussions will also be held with the IMO.
