Ms Fiona Brady:

The Deputy is aware of the Beaumont Hospital issue and the CHI issue. Naas General Hospital was mentioned during yesterday's health committee meeting. The NTPF did not cease funding for Naas General Hospital. The hospital had full disclosure with the HSE and with me. Of its own volition, the hospital decided it would cease all insourcing temporarily while we waited on Mr. Gloster to send in the HSE internal auditors to review. We did not cease funding; the hospital itself did it.
