Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: I thank Ms Hoey. I want to go back to ventilators for a moment. There were 55 ventilators in the private hospitals, but they did not seem to figure. Mr. Mulvany might want to answer this question because, in terms of continuity, he was there at the time. Why did they not seem to figure in the calculations?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: It was relevant at the time in that the fact we had 48, 50 or whatever extra ventilators in the State would have been a factor in terms of the calculation of what we needed. We needed 326 extra ventilators. That is what the established capacity was.

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: What I am saying is that those could have been requisitioned in a national emergency. Surely if we were able to take over the hospitals, the public system could have used their ventilators. Does Mr. Tierney want to add anything?

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: I want to ask briefly about personal protective equipment, PPE, generally. There is €485 million of unsuitable or obsolete equipment in storage. It includes hand sanitisers, gowns and protective suits that, along with the ventilators, we will not get a benefit from. It is a high figure. I know the context. I always acknowledge the work that was done during the pandemic. On a...

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: Many small manufacturers stepped up to the plate at the time in providing stuff, including gowns and protective clothing generally. I do not expect ventilators to be produced at every crossroads, but within the EU, are ventilators being produced?

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Brian Stanley: It was terrible to watch. I know one facility very close to me where many people died over a weekend and the protective clothing was not available. It was in the worst part of the emergency. We cannot do anything about that but, going forward, it is that we do not get ourselves into that situation again where we are depending on somebody to go to China and use a contact they have there,...
