Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health

9:30 am

Mr. Robert Watt:

Yes, there is. The CEO would account to the board of the HSE and, in turn, account to the Department and the Minister, so there absolutely is accountability. There would be conversations. We have monthly performance reviews, and then quarterly reviews involving the Minister, where we assess the performance of the HSE, challenge, get feedback and then work in terms of how we get through that.
