David Cullinane: With respect to Mr. Daly, that is not what I am saying. I am saying that if a witness is asked a direct question and he does not answer it, he cannot say that he has answered the question and has been upfront. Clearly he has not been. That is the point I am making. We have established that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Engagement with Nursing Homes Ireland (14 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: I have one final question. Mr. McEnery had a different view as to why he was at the meeting. His organisation represented 20 nursing homes. He would have been aware of the fees that they receive. He is also the chair of the Health Information and Quality Authority, HIQA, is he not?

David Cullinane: Here is the problem for Mr. Daly. This was a meeting that was discussing pricing. The word "boycott" was used, or at least that is what we were told. I refer to Mr. Paul Rochford. The media reports that the threat of not taking in new admissions from the acute hospitals is a potentially very powerful lobbying tool, that as a lobbying group the biggest threat Nursing Homes Ireland, NHI,...

- Health Waiting Lists: Motion [Private Members] (20 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: It seems that, as we approach budget 2019, the big debate in Fine Gael and the Government is how they will cut taxes, which taxes, by how much and for whom. I do not hear much from the party about fixing the problems in our health service or, indeed, any of our public services. The Minister will know that there are long waiting lists in many specialties in University Hospital Waterford,...

David Cullinane: Can we scroll down to this for a second?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: In the discussion we had with that body, its representatives said that the CCPC had basically given Nursing Homes Ireland a clean bill of health. I made the point that it did not resolve the question of whether issues of price fixing were discussed by Nursing Homes Ireland but were never actioned. Because they were never actioned, no action could be taken by the CCPC. It actually states...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: I am on paragraph with the heading, NOW NHI AND THE CCPC HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS. It states "NHI hereby confirms that NHI and, to the best of its knowledge, its members did not at any stage implement any collective actions..." Therefore we know it did not implement any, but the question was whether it was discussed. The document continues to state: "NHI hereby undertakes..." All of the...

David Cullinane: I do not know if a written question was sent by the clerk to the committee or the secretariat to the HSE but we had already received the laboratory data for 2013-16 when its representatives appeared before the committee. We were looking for the laboratory data from 2008-12, which we have not received.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (21 Jun 2018)
David Cullinane: The HSE sent us data we already had in answer to our question, and that is playing games. The Accounting Officer stated that the HSE would send us the data we were seeking as quickly as it could. It is a bit rich to send us data we already have in order to pretend that it was answering the question or providing us with information. We should write back to the HSE in very strong terms. We...
