Public Accounts Committee

Business of Committee

2:00 am

Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

I think that is outlined in the previous report I did. I just cannot remember the detail at the moment.

Going back to Deputy Farrelly's comment on ICT and cost overruns, I mentioned in private session the major development of a financial management system. If there was an integrated financial management system that might actually be helpful in avoiding some of these matters. Take, for example, the duplicate payment of €732,000. That should be avoided once an integrated financial management system is in place. That is a key development in the HSE. It maybe something the committee should get an update on from the HSE in advance of its appearance.
