Special Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Discussion

10:15 am

Mr. Paul Reid:

I will make a few brief comments and then I will call on our chief financial officer, Stephen Mulvany, to follow up. On the previous commitment in 2015, much work was done to try to collate the data. We did reflect, and I believe the Comptroller and Auditor General reflected in his report, some of the frustrations around not having a single integrated financial system, which is what we are currently working on and deploying. We have put processes in place to collate the data much better and we have made some progress on the production of it. I will ask Mr. Mulvany who is in the other room to make a comment also.
