Financial Statements 2024: Health Service Executive

Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

That would certainly not be our intention. I cannot sit here today and say one will not emerge. Until we go through the process, now that we have IFMS, of cleaning through all of the fixed assets and addressing some of the issues we are aware of and which the Comptroller and Auditor General pointed out, including making sure assets move properly through the different stages of asset recognition in the accounts, such as depreciation, I cannot say we will not come across something, but it is not the intention in any way to drip feed them. We will make them visible as soon as we become aware of them.
