Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: I am incredulous at Mr. O'Brien talking about it as an isolated case given the then Department of Health and Children expressed concerns about it in 2005, the example of some concern in 1996 and the statistics we have now. It was an epidemic breaking out. This was not an isolated case. It was an epidemic. If the HSE did not know, it should have known. It is all very well for Dr....

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: Presumably, the boards of all these hospitals, clinics and whatever else must have known about it. There must have been hundreds of staff within the health service who knew about this. What worries me is that the HSE and the Department of Health seemed to be the only ones who did not know about it.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: That is incredible. It must have been widely known within those hospitals and other organisations where it was happening, and the only ones who did not know it were the Department of Health and the HSE. When the HSE found out about the CRC, did the HSE tell the Department of Health about it?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: It would be useful. Could Mr. O'Brien tell me about the chain of command? When this happens, and when the HSE discovered what it discovered, does the HSE tell the Department of Health? Who does the HSE inform?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: I am sorry, I know that. Does the HSE tell the Department of Health when there is a breach of Government policy? For instance, when those guidelines were being breached, did the HSE tell the Department?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: The HSE must have known at that stage that the CRC was not in compliance because it had held that meeting with Mr. Des Peelo. That cannot be. The HSE knew the CRC was not in compliance in 2009.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: May I ask a follow-up question, because I have to go? It seems obvious to me that knowledge of this was widespread and that we have been led on a wild goose chase about this by the Department and the HSE. I accept that the files might support their case, but files do not tell the full story. Can Dr. McLoughlin tell me if the Minister was informed and kept up to date with what was happening...
