Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

As it is, the monthly financial reports incorporate those figures and they are published quarterly, typically. The AFS follows a certain format that has been set out by the Minister. Unless the Minister chooses to change it, it will not change. We provide supplementary information within the annual report, of which the AFS is part, and we can certainly look in the future to calling out ambulance service financial information. I am fairly sure there is ambulance service activity information in a section on the ambulance service in the annual report.
