Mr. Pat Healy:

What is essential to this throughout all the shifts, and I have been through them all from the health boards to the HSE to the regional directors, is that there has been a requirement to develop a new financial system. That system has now eventually been approved. It is in the process of being developed. When that is in place we will be able to give the Deputy the type of information she is seeking. When the CHOs were established, or the integrated service areas before that, that financial system had not been approved at that time. It has gone through all the approvals required with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and so forth. The CFO heads a programme board that is fully implementing the system. It will take a couple of years to implement it fully but the system will give the Deputy the type of information she is seeking in the future.
