Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: When can we expect to receive it?

Public Accounts Committee: Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome Mr. Tony O'Brien and his colleagues. How many payroll systems are in operation in the HSE?

Public Accounts Committee: Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: PPARS was there many years ago. I thought it was about consolidating the payroll system within the HSE. Where did PPARS end up and what did it cost? We are talking about outsourcing. It is difficult to analyse properly and give a fair comment on a system if there is a lack of cohesive information. That is not to say the information is not available.

Public Accounts Committee: Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: No; I had not planned to ask the question.

Public Accounts Committee: Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: It is an obvious question. Due to challenges posed by the legacy payroll systems, of which there are eight - Mr. Barry O'Brien will appreciate this is about analysing information and the questions asked by Deputy McDonald in respect of absenteeism, the figures for which are not to hand - I thought a report would be available showing the total numbers and the cost. Obviously it is difficult...

Kieran O'Donnell: Yes.

Public Accounts Committee: Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: Okay.

Public Accounts Committee: Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: While much of this is prior to Mr. O'Brien's time, with a budget of the order of almost €14 billion per annum and an organisation with eight payroll systems, the HSE has to concentrate time on putting in place a payroll system which will amalgamate all the payrolls. It is clear there is not enough of PPARS. If memory serves me correctly, PPARS cost in the region of €120...

Kieran O'Donnell: Can Mr. Barry O'Brien tell me the timeframe for putting this in place?

Public Accounts Committee: Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: I shall return to a point raised by Deputy Mary Lou McDonald on the clinical director's allowance. Mr. Tony O'Brien referred to the fact that he was also in the management service of a modern HSE. I raised the question previously and I have put the representatives on notice that I would probably raise the issue. Within the consultants area, €74 million in private fee income remains...

Public Accounts Committee: Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: This is about the fees.

Public Accounts Committee: Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances (8 Nov 2012)

Kieran O'Donnell: The HSE signalled the last time it was before us that from 5 November, the insurance companies would be billed within 14 days, including for the outstanding €74 million.
