Public Accounts Committee

Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances

4:20 pm

Mr. Peter Brazel:

Except that perhaps the GP trainees would show an example of where part of the rationale for the allowance was overtime, if one likes, and there is a blurring between the two, as one of Deputy Murphy’s colleagues indicated earlier. There was much concentration, in particular in the early stages with a narrow window of compliance, to concentrate on what was seen as priority areas in order to get the information assembled and collated.
