2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: The Department does not need to go back to 2008. The specific question relates to the memorandum. It was not around in 2008 and, therefore, I am not interested in what happened in 2008 and what the Department is trawling through. With regard to this memorandum, how in God's name does it take this long to get this type of information? We had this issue with the Department of Justice and...

He cannot sit there in all seriousness and tell me that is something that cannot be easily established given that this would come from the most senior person in the HSE to the Department. Even today, he is not in a position to...

2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: In terms of this issue, it certainly would be shared. Is it not the case that it was only 20 minutes before the Minister, Deputy Harris, took to his feet to give a very important speech to the Dáil on this issue that he found out that not all the patients who developed cancer were subject to the audit? It was only at that point that he was made aware of it.

2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: It is quite incredible, however, that it was so widely known within CervicalCheck while, it seems, not so widely known within the HSE, and not known to the Department, which is the body that reports to the Minister. At the end of the day, the Minister is accountable to the Dáil and the people. If the Minister is not being given pertinent and important information, that is a problem....
