Mr. O'Brien stated that, consequent to the Deloitte report, "the Service Provider was not treated either unfairly or disproportionately when compared to other similarly funded organisations." He compared it to other similarly funded organisations. However, Deloitte did not examine the funding of other organisations. Mr. O'Brien has acknowledged that €600,000 had to be paid retrospectively to this service provider for the care of Grace. To how many other organisations would an amount of that scale have been paid retrospectively?
