Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Voluntary Organisations in the Health Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Peter Murphy:

It is most extreme in CHO 2, the west. I do not say that to single the west out. To be fair, funding is not given to each CHO area to distribute as we would like. That is an important point as well. It is often not very easy to understand the decision-making processes behind the scenes. I do not know if "transparency" is the right word. We have good relationships with our contacts in every region, but the decision-making process is not very clear.
