James Reilly: I am impressed that a single appeals officer has been able to deal with so many appeals. If that sort of productivity existed throughout the health service, we would be doing extremely well. It is extraordinary that KPMG has been paid â¬23 million â â¬15 million exclusive of VAT â to administer the scheme. Some 70,000 claims were expected, 39,000 were lodged and 14,000 have been...

James Reilly: I have no wish to row with the Minister on the issue, which is very important. I am glad she at least admits that letters can be intimidating, as can telephone calls. People are confused. I wish to ask her questions which require a "Yes" or "No" answer. Is she concerned at the high level of successful appeals, at 25%? That is very significant. Considering the large numbers, how many...

Did the Minister see the "Prime Time" programme during the week which detailed how a young girl has lost one eye...

James Reilly: My understanding is that the report was completed last September. Is the Minister of State saying that is not the case or is she saying that, despite being completed last September, the HSE has only received it now? Perhaps she will correct the record of the House for me. I understood the report was completed last September. I agree it will be an excellent model of care but "will" is an...

James Reilly: It is clear that Government policy, as promised, is meaningless. The bureaucrats in the HSE are left to determine how health policy is enacted and that is why we are in the mess in which we find ourselves. Frankenstein's monster is out of control and its creator has walked away from it.
