Public Accounts Committee

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

5:35 pm

Ms Paula Lawlor:

We have not identified the extent of audit, remuneration or various governance committees in the agencies. They certainly all have independent boards and one would expect, in terms of good governance, that they would have those sub-committees of boards. In some correspondence there has been reference to sub-committees and the boards approving allowances, etc. They certainly have independent boards and some or most would have remuneration and audit committees. That would have to be determined.
