Would hotel accommodation provided for consultants be part of this trawl of bonus payments? The committee conducted hearings over a long period on departmental expenses and prepared a report on it. It would appear we did not ask the right questions because none of this showed up. There are issues around top-up payments in section 38 bodies even though in 2011 we knew it was happening in one or two hospitals. We now know permission was sought for some of the older top-up payments.

Is there any other payment or accommodation for people in this category which might fall under the radar simply because it is not down as salary or a top-up?
