Josepha Madigan: -----but not right now.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2017)
Josepha Madigan: While I understand the reason the Health Service Executive is trying to wash its hands of its responsibility for the staff, the committee cannot abandon them. I echo everything other members have said on this issue.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (9 Mar 2017)
Josepha Madigan: It is difficult, given that we are all sitting on other committees, sometimes simultaneously. We must strike a balance between trying to be realistic, as Deputy Connolly stated, and trying to get through our workload.

Health Repayments Scheme Donations Fund 2015 (9 Mar 2017) Josepha Madigan: I am going to be the second questioner anyway, after Deputy McDonald. I simply wish to say that I respect the Chairman's views on this, despite the fact there are very serious and grave concerns. It is due to the fact that the concerns are so serious and grave that the HSE is afforded an opportunity to put in a written reply within seven days. I echo that point because it is far too grave...

Health Repayments Scheme Donations Fund 2015 (9 Mar 2017) Josepha Madigan: I thank the delegation from the Health Service Executive for coming in. It is evident from the accounts that substantial public money goes through the HSE to health care providers, both public and private. We know there has been systemic elderly abuse, as well as incidents involving children, coming to light recently. I am speaking specifically about nursing homes and the fair deal scheme....

Health Repayments Scheme Donations Fund 2015 (9 Mar 2017) Josepha Madigan: I will stop Mr. Healy there. Since 2014, HIQA has done 2,273 independent inspections. How many of those related to elderly people, as opposed to children or those with disabilities?

Health Repayments Scheme Donations Fund 2015 (9 Mar 2017) Josepha Madigan: I appreciate that but I would like to be more specific because we are discussing the fair deal scheme. The role of the Committee of Public Accounts is to ensure taxpayers' money is spent prudently. I want to ascertain how many of those inspections related to the elderly. Can the witness answer that today?

HSE Financial Statement 2015: Note 13 re Fair Deal Scheme
Health Repayments Scheme Donations Fund 2015 (9 Mar 2017) Josepha Madigan: That would be great. There have been cases of systemic abuse of the elderly. I would like to know, and I am sure the committee would like to know, how many of those independent inspections specifically related to the elderly. The fair deal scheme is on the agenda today so the information would have been helpful. Is the delegation in a position to answer how any potential neglectful or...

HSE Financial Statement 2015: Note 13 re Fair Deal Scheme
Health Repayments Scheme Donations Fund 2015 (9 Mar 2017) Josepha Madigan: Okay. I hope so. With regard to the health repayment scheme, I note €453 million was repaid between 2007 and 2009 where charges were incorrectly imposed. I appreciate that the HSE has held its hands up in that regard. It is a substantial amount to have overcharged, so it would be very helpful for the Committee of Public Accounts to know why and how it happened. This is not a...
