Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: St. Vincent’s hospital has replied not once but twice. To leave out the information once could be deemed careless; to do it twice could be deemed unfortunate. I do not believe this is good enough. Does Mr. O’Brien believe the hospital is in compliance with public sector pay guidelines, based on what he has just heard from Ms Lawler?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: What will the HSE do about it? We have letters going back over a month and a half. It is like ping pong, we are getting into the middle of it and I want the game to stop. A section 38 organisation is publicly coming out and issuing a rebuke to the HSE, saying "get lost". The HSE is funding the CRC with taxpayers' money.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: I had a quick look at Ms Smith's internal audit report. Page 8 refers to 12 section 38 organisations, to the tune of €902,472, paying externally funded salaries and allowances. Those agencies include St. Vincent's University Hospital, COPE Foundation, CRC, St. Michael's House, the Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital, the Mater hospital, the National Maternity Hospital, Our...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: How many of the section 38 organisations have come back? They are not required to give written confirmation until the end of January. I would have thought the HSE would seek written confirmation before the start of the new year. Why did it not? This has been going on for a significant period of time. Why is confirmation stretching out into 2014?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: The charity sector does phenomenal work. People are out there today fundraising for various charities up and down the country, many on a voluntary basis. We had the CRC before us last week. In St. Vincent's Hospital there are three people involved. St. Vincent's employs a significant number of people doing fantastic work on the ground. It is grossly unacceptable, unnecessary and...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: I have a final question for Dr. Smith. From my reading of the internal audit report 12 organisations are paying externally funded salaries and allowances above the Government pay guidelines. The total number of allowance being paid is 47. However, some managers could be receiving double payments.
