Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive (23 Jul 2015)

Robert Troy: I would like to begin by thanking the whistleblower for highlighting the alleged impropriety with regard to procurement policies in public and private hospitals. I would also like to thank RTE for giving this matter the publicity it deserves on "Prime Time". I think any fair-minded taxpayer who is looking in would be sick to the bottom of his or her stomach because of the use of scarce...

Robert Troy: Yes. I used the word "alleged".

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive (23 Jul 2015)

Robert Troy: It is alleged that commercially sensitive information was shared and people were referred to as being "good to know." Funnily enough, the holidays were reimbursed with cash so that there was no traceability. It is amazing and sickening. I acknowledge and thank Mr. Michael Cullen of Beacon Hospital for coming forward. As the chief executive officer of a private hospital, he is not under...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive (23 Jul 2015)

Robert Troy: The point in question is not the cost of the holiday involved, because we are aware of that. Knowledge of it was originally denied and then receipt of that information was acknowledged. Can Mr. Cullen quantify the potential loss to the Beacon Group, bearing in mind that the possibility of sharing of information could potentially have led to the Beacon Group paying inflated prices for services?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive (23 Jul 2015)

Robert Troy: I thank the witnesses for attending. I am somewhat amused by the contrast between the number of officials from the HSE and the one person who was sent to represent the Beacon Hospital. It is a matter of fact that, as a result of a procurement process, a publicly funded hospital paid ten times what it would previously have paid for services provided to it. Do the witnesses believe this is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive (23 Jul 2015)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive (23 Jul 2015)

Robert Troy: Will Mr. Woods confirm whether an employee of the Mater public hospital was referred to in the "Prime Time" programme? Will Mr. Woods explain how the Mater public hospital purchased a patient management system last year for €500,000 without going to tender? Can hospitals use private funds to get around the procurement system, either from donations or their own foundations? If so,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive (23 Jul 2015)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive (23 Jul 2015)

Will he clarify this statement and provide a timeframe for the completion of the investigation? ...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children: Procurement Practices for the Purchase of Hospital Supplies and Equipment: Beacon Hospital and Health Service Executive (23 Jul 2015)

Robert Troy: As I did not respond when the witnesses answered my earlier questions, I would like to obtain some clarification on the points I raised. I appreciate the Chairman's leniency. I asked a question about the policy on employees or members of boards declaring any interests with pharmaceutical or medical supplies companies. Has anyone declared such an interest and, if so, how many have done...
