Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023)

Cormac Devlin: The Department does not have the number of cases, but does it have the figure for the cost of defence or litigation in relation to the scheme or to those who fall outside the scheme? Does it have a cost, at all, of any legal fees?

Cormac Devlin: I appreciate the witnesses have some figures. However, it is a pity, given the public comment and comment within the Houses of the Oireachtas on this issue and the fact it was given in the briefing in advance of today that it would be raised that they do not have the breakdown. Mr O’Grady said 13 in 2020. Is that right?

Cormac Devlin: I understand the Attorney General is preparing a memo for Cabinet on the legal strategy employed by the State, Department of Health and HSE to defend these claims, which is due to be published next week. It has been reported there are two substantive memos detailing legal strategy in this area, one from 2011 and another from 2017. I am conscious of the CEO's time spent in the role, but is...

Cormac Devlin: Okay. I return to the applications to the scheme. There were 35,417 applicants and 20,302 claimants received payment. The witnesses have alluded to people outside the parameters of the legislation etc. Were any refused for reasons other than legislative? Was there a bulk reason for refusal based on certain criteria? Are the witnesses aware of any other criteria applied for refusals of...

Cormac Devlin: The CFO commented on the €1.7 million. The website states a few complex cases are still being processed. I understand those complex cases are being dealt with by the Department of Health since 2013. The HSE has no more hand, act or part in this scheme at all. It is all the Department of Health now. Is that correct?

Cormac Devlin: Does the HSE have an average payout per the scheme for claimants? Every case is obviously different as per stay etc., but is this working out as an average per claimant?

Nursing Home Charges and Disability Allowance Payments: Statements (9 Feb 2023)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome the opportunity to examine the treatment of historical nursing home charges and disability allowance payments. I might focus on the nursing home charges first. As I understand it, this issue originally arose out of the Health Act 1970, which granted people with a medical card free access to inpatient services. This was later determined to include long-stay nursing home care....

Committee on Public Petitions: Public Petition on St. Brigid’s Hospital, Carrick-on-Suir (Resumed): Health Service Executive (9 Feb 2023)

It was unfair to the officials and to the Member, who was not in the room at the time. I ask...
