Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) John McGuinness: I am not surprised that Dr. McLoughlin will not answer. What does Mr. O'Brien think of this budget issue? Did Mr O'Brien prepare figures for Dr. McLoughlin in order that he could fight the case on behalf of Mr. O'Brien and ensure sufficient funds were received? Obviously Mr. O'Brien prepared a budget.

Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) John McGuinness: My question does not relate to the decisions of the Government, which I understand. I want to know how the process works and Mr. O'Brien has clarified this matter. It is the case that the HSE prepares a budget plan taking known and unknown factors into account and arrives at a figure as a best estimate of its needs for the year. Mr. O'Brien, in turn, then presents that to Mr. McLoughlin,...

Can Mr. O'Brien tell me the cost of running the whole medical card examination - that section that was set up to implement the policy?

Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) John McGuinness: What I was trying to establish is how much it costs to chase that 4%. If one were examining an aged debt, one would have to decide how much it would cost to chase that amount of money and it may be that perhaps it is not worth it. Did that type of analysis take place within the HSE? There is no point in asking Mr. McLoughlin that question because he will not tell me.

Deputy Connaughton made the point, with which I am in agreement, that a considerable amount of paperwork is lost in this process. Is that paperwork going to the data input section? Where is likely to be misplaced or lost in the system? Does it happen at some other stage?

Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) John McGuinness: I ask Mr. O'Brien to furnish a report to Deputy O'Donnell. I will continue with the Limerick group and perhaps will ask a more general question of Dr. McLoughlin. Were Mr. O'Brien to decide, for example, that an assistant is needed in the aforementioned hospital group, who would clear that decision? Is it Dr. McLoughlin or is it Mr. O'Brien? Who has the authority in that regard?

Can such a post to be filled without competition and without disclosing the salary?
