Public Accounts Committee

2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 39 - Health Service Executive

4:55 pm

Ms Paula Lawlor:

We did seek legal advice on receipt of the internal audit report, which obviously went into the various issues the Chairman has just raised. There will certainly be challenges on employment legislation with the individuals. However, it is a process we are going to have to work through. The other important thing to notice is that from the information that would have been given to us over a year ago, I think changes have been made in some of those organisations, and we can see some slight changes in what they are suggesting now.
