Will Dr. Smith indicate why, in the context of her report on section 38 organisations, the initial number of officials indicated was three? Will she further indicate why this suddenly rose to seven?

Will Mr. O'Brien indicate if I am correct in my interpretation in this regard?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: Yes. So does Mr. Jermyn accept what Mr. O'Brien is saying, namely, that three employees of the public hospital were paid top-ups on the basis of work they did in the private hospital and that they are not in compliance as long as they continue to be paid such top-ups by the private hospital?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014) Kieran O'Donnell: I thank the witnesses for attending the meeting. Let us get down to the bread and butter.

If his overall income is in excess of €136,282, will the HSE regard St. Vincent's as being in breach of public pay guidelines?
