Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Overspend on the Health Budget 2018: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

We have issued performance notices and we have escalated services and their teams around their performance. Have we sanctioned an individual and imposed a disciplinary sanction on an individual? I need to avoid just giving a simple "Yes" or "No" because that is not a simple question. The factual answer is a short "No", but the implied question behind it as to whether somebody should have been is a much longer discussion which I am happy to have. However, there is no simple, "you are fired due to this"-----
