Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: Twenty-one plus 20 is 41 days. That is roughly five to six weeks. Why does it take that length of time to get an invoice in place after a patient has been discharged? Is that 41 days from discharge from the hospital?

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: It seems a relatively long turnaround time period. Can I go back to the €61 million, of which €9 million is outstanding for more than a year? How many consultants are involved in that €9 million and why has a situation been allowed to develop whereby documentation relating to €9 million of taxpayers' money to allow a claim to be put in is effectively outstanding...

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: It would have to in some way. If it was €74 million back in September 2012 and of the €61 million, €9 million is outstanding for more than a year, some of that €9 million must have been included in the €74 million as well.

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: We were led to believe last October that there was €74 million in forms in respect of the consultants' element of the private fee income that had not been billed to whatever private insurer because the forms had not been signed off by the consultant. Is that correct?

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: Of the €61 million, what are the debtors' days? How long is that outstanding? That is a different issue. I am talking about an administrative issue. I am going through the eye of a needle here for something that should be relatively straightforward to answer. I will not let it go because at the end of the day, it is taxpayers' money. Of the €61 million, could Mr. Woods...

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: If €61 million worth of bills have not gone to a private insurer and if the HSE is an organisation with a budget of €13 billion to €14 billion per year but Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Woods are not able to tell me how long that €61 million has been outstanding for, I must ask why they cannot give me that figure because this is relatively straightforward accounting.

Vote 40 - Health Service Executive
Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: I would have expected Mr. Woods to have that figure here today because we have done so much work on this. We brought out a report on the HSE with specific mention of the €74 million. I have written to the HSE and we produced a report on the matter. We still do not know why €61 million remains outstanding, how long it is outstanding and how many consultants are involved. Is...

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: I welcome Mr. Tony O’Brien and his colleagues. On the issue of the treatment of private patients in public hospitals, in September 2012 up to €74 million was outstanding for consultants’ fee billings to private insurers. Of this figure, at the time we were told that between €5 million to €8 million was outstanding for more than 12 months. The overall...

Health Service Executive Financial Statements 2011 (25 Apr 2013) Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect to Mr. Tony O’Brien, we did a report on this and the Health Service Executive, HSE, would have known this issue was coming up in today’s meetings. We are going off on tangents and other issues. This is about money and a matter that has gone on for a long period. It involves approximately €60 million. I am looking for relatively straightforward figures...

Kieran O'Donnell: Before we proceed, on the Dublin Docklands Development Authority, is the site currently in NAMA? We should consider calling representatives of NAMA as witnesses as they would have considerable knowledge. They have all of the documentation and would know. There is a major legal aspect to how the site was acquired. Representatives of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority will appear...

Kieran O'Donnell: Normally one strips out repatriated profits from FDI so that GNP is lower than GDP. That is the case for the forecast for this year.
