Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

4:30 pm

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

It is an ongoing problem. It is something we are constantly addressing with the HSE. I have reported on it from time to time. They are making progress, although it is slow. I have not studied this document in detail but we will certainly be examining it. If I feel there is a requirement for us to do further work in regard to it, I will certainly consider that. Obviously, if they are in with the committee in the meantime, there may be further information drawn out on that occasion that I will take into account in my consideration of the matter. It is frustratingly slow to get progress on this but we have to keep the pressure on.
