Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Good morning, everybody. I welcome Mr. Gloster and wish him good luck in the role he has recently taken up. To be fair, the procurement exercise commenced before both Mr. Watt and Mr. Gloster took up their positions. Mr. Watt is the Accounting Officer and Secretary General and Mr. Gloster is the CEO of the HSE, so it all took place with actors who are not before the committee. However,...

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Mr. Mulvany has just said that it was clear. Allow me to say this again; the Comptroller and Auditor General says that this was seriously misleading. So clearly, it was not clear. It was clearly misleading

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: This means you would agree, so it was misleading. I want to move on to the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Delivery Plan and Reform on the same question. How did the Department deal with the fact that it did not receive the full information in order to make an informed decision?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: The fact that the Department was being misled is what I am really trying to get to. Did the Department seek to hold anyone accountable on that basis, given that it accepts the report?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: Clearly not. I suppose we can all make up our own minds then as to accountability. Referring to page 27 of the report, Mr. Mulvany, €24.5 million was advanced to three suppliers on the basis of a verbal contract. Emergency or no emergency, how was such a massive amount transferred and authorised by the HSE without a written contract?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Verona Murphy: The reality is that the ventilators that were procured were worthless to us. People did not die because ventilators were not procured. They died because ventilators that were of no consequence were procured. No, I am wrong. Sorry, to be fair, they are consequentially of use in India. We were lucky to be able to do something for somebody, after wasting €80 million. I agree with...
