John Deasy: We requested that he clarify the reasons he would want to come before the committee. Has he given the clerk an indication as to why? I understand the clerk cannot speak.

John Deasy: I asked for a departmental note on this matter. There are issues arising with regard to the Office of Government Procurement in particular and to the construction of the tender. We are back into the same territory we were in that only a one year extension is being granted, such that a new tender will have to be drawn up and so on. In my opinion, the Office of Government Procurement did not...

John Deasy: I suppose this is something that we can bring up with the HSE. My question is a positive one. We spoke to the Secretary General of the Department of Health a couple of weeks ago. He followed through on what we asked him to do, to firm up what we had proposed in committee here over the past year and to put together an independent panel to deal with reviews and reports that are commissioned...

John Deasy: Is there any point in asking Carlow IT to come in too, while we are dealing with these matters, or is that something that is completely removed?

John Deasy: I have been corresponding with the Secretary General's office regarding the Tom Galvin case, on the suggestion of the clerk to this committee. The Department has provided me with a general timeline on how it intends to deal with the issue. The new steering group met Mr. Galvin and it believes that a recommendation or decision will be made in December. The Department has acted in that...

John Deasy: I am conscious that this is Deputy Costello's constituency and he knows a great deal more about this than I do having been involved in it for years. We are going to bring the Department in with regard to arts and heritage - it will be coming in with regard to the Aer Arann tender document - and surely we can ask the officials at the same meeting when we are going to raise Moore Street what...

John Deasy: We said 19 November to deal with Aer Arann and the tender. Can we deal with it then?

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John Deasy: I welcome Mr. O'Brien and the other witnesses. I had not intended to raise this but I will. It relates to what Deputy Sean Fleming asked Mr. O'Brien with regard to the conference in Spain. One can ask questions about the guidelines and the policies around them without impugning anybody's integrity. It is fair to ask whether it is wise for the head of the HSE, which has a budget of...

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John Deasy: I am parking that issue too. I wish to get to the root of the issue. Is it wise for the head of the Health Service Executive or any other HSE employee to accept a fee, even if it goes to charity, and expenses for attending a conference? We must bear a very important thing in mind, namely, that the HSE deals with these companies which supply services to it. This is, therefore, a pretty...
