Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: Mr. O'Brien, I wish to raise something that came to the committee in correspondence. There are a number of issues. It was written to us in March 2014 but because of the committee's workload, it was not really aired. I have asked that a copy be sent to you.

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: Regardless of the efforts that are made through the HSE, the answer is always, "Yes, you can get that service in the other administrative area [which might be in the Carlow side] but there will be a funding issue". That is despite the fact that the funding issue has already been addressed by virtue of the fact that the patient or client is receiving the services within the HSE area but...

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) John McGuinness: Thank you. My other question is for Mr. Mulvany. You spoke about the next year, which I presume is 2016, and the upgrade and building intelligence tools in terms of the IT structures, the single financial system, the business case and so forth. Will that happen in the course of 2016?

The North Meath Communities Development Association has been writing to the committee for quite some time. It relates to a particular project. I believe it went to arbitration in 2004. The arbitration ended in 2008 and there was an award in terms of that arbitration. The arbitration process, as I understand it, is fairly clear. There is only a one day...

If Mr. O'Brien reads the decision of the arbitrator and that final award, that is it, not the clarification that he received. The legislation refers to...
