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:

No, I am not concerned that 80% is provided directly by organisations outside the HSE. I am concerned about issues such as pay parity between section 38 and section 39 organisations.

I can see how an individual parent might wonder whether the HSE is deliberately trying to delay assessments but I reassure the Deputy that is absolutely not the case.
