Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: I want to stand reassured but I do not take reassurance. Do you know what I do? I take the reports from the Comptroller and Auditor General and his staff. We read them and then we highlight what has been highlighted to us in order to get reassurance that the procedures and practices are not just in place but working. Clearly they were not working and there is nobody here today to tell me...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Children's Health Ireland
Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: Would Ms Nugent admit, given those reports, all of the internal reports and not to mention the NTPF which we will come back to and will have another internal report, that something is seriously amiss, notwithstanding the great work being done? I acknowledge HIQA said there was a burden on management that was not tolerable. Those are my words; I am paraphrasing. In the meantime, this is the...

Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: How many recommendations were there?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Children's Health Ireland
Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: These are the things would reassure us, honestly. If the witnesses could tell us about the report, what the recommendations are, the status of the recommendations and their implementation, that would be very helpful. CHI's financial statement states that an external report should be carried out every three years. Has a report on the board's effectiveness been done every three years in the past?

Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: No, external reviews.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Children's Health Ireland
Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: Again, it would be very helpful for us if the witnesses could say that they have carried out an external report as per their duty and obligation, that they have done it every three years and that these are the results. That information is not coming from them. We are going through all of this and that information is not coming. I am watching the time so I will move to the NTPF...

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Children's Health Ireland
Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: I know that. The NTPF has been in existence for a quarter of a century. Obviously, there is something wrong. The NTPF is simply implementing Government policy. I am not criticising it at all. I will go back to some constructive criticism about the failure of the NTPF's procedures to detect what was going on, but the NTPF is implementing policy. Presumably, the NTPF was to be a...

Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: The Minister has clearly said she wants to reduce this. Has she been in touch with the NTPF in regard to that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023 - Children's Health Ireland
Financial Statements - National Treatment Purchase Fund (3 Jul 2025) Catherine Connolly: Good. Will there be follow-up meetings to plan for when the NTPF will no longer be necessary and at what point in time that will be the case? It has not happened yet.
