I call on the hospital to be absolutely transparent. That is essential.

We received correspondence yesterday listing the top-ups paid by various organisations. I presume all of these organisations receive most of their funding from the State in one way or another, while some receive voluntary funding also. Is the HSE in a position to state in the cases of the organisations which supplied information in the correspondence received yesterday from where the top-ups come? I am referring to the Coombe Women's & Infant's University Hospital, the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, the National Maternity Hospital and St. Michael' House. Let us consider St. Michael's House, for example. I presume it receives charitable funding.
