- Public Accounts Committee: Deloitte Report on Cost of Care in Grace Case (26 Oct 2017)
Catherine Connolly: I am asking Mr. O'Brien. What I have read from his answer is, "No, we are not acknowledging that this was because we underfunded the service. That is because we decided to take a particular review of a case." I put it to him that clearly, it was an acknowledgement that it was an underfunding of the service because it was not like any other service. It had a very special person in its care...

Catherine Connolly: Will the Chairman allow me to finish? We have a clear apportionment of money going back retrospectively for the care provided to Grace. We are free to make an interpretation in that regard based on what is before us. I have put it to Mr. O'Brien that my interpretation, which he did not accept, is that this clearly amounts to an acknowledgement that the HSE had not funded the care provider...

- Public Accounts Committee: Deloitte Report on Cost of Care in Grace Case (26 Oct 2017)
Catherine Connolly: I am asking, first, about the cost of the report. My second question relates to Mr. O'Brien's statement that the organisation in question was not treated either unfairly or disproportionately when compared with other similarly funded organisations. The service provider had a particular extra responsibility and, as such, was not comparable with other organisations. That is the point my...

The statement points out the problems quite openly to the Department of Health. What is the response of the Department of Health to that...
