Vote 39 - Health Service Executive

Dr. Geraldine Smith:

No. Various people gave various descriptions of privately funded allowances. One agency stated one of the salary payments it made was from fund-raising. We have seen the description from the National Maternity Hospital. We have seen references to other sources of income. The distinction for the agencies was that these were not funded through the HSE funds but came from other sources available to them.
