Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: That equates to 150 days. When one adds the 90 days, it is taking roughly eight months from the time a patient is seen in the public health system for the hospital to receive payment. Am I correct to say that the invoice sent to the insurance company covers both the consultant and the cost of the bed?

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: So the figure over 12 months appears to have remained static. A total of €9 million out of the €61 million is outstanding for over 12 months. Of the €74 million, about €8 million was outstanding for more than 12 months. Mr. O'Brien will appreciate that it is nothing personal but the ordinary person sees that €61 million is outstanding in terms of forms...

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: It seems a relatively long turnaround time period. Can I go back to the €61 million, of which €9 million is outstanding for more than a year?
