Mr. Michael Gladney:

We use whatever statutory powers we have, as with any other tax, to collect the money owed. In cases where there are difficult or mitigating circumstances, if the person who owes the money outlines the scenario, we will refer it back to the HSE. The ultimate decision is with the executive as to whether or not the amount is collectible.
