I understand there will be a report issued today on the death of baby Mark Molloy in the maternity hospital in Portlaoise in 2012, three years on. Why three years on? Is it being issued today?

Mr. O'Brien is the chair of the task force on the accident and emergency trolley crisis.

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: Mr. O'Brien is the chairman of that group. How does his work fit when some of his regional managers announce unilaterally, without consultation with local GPs, that they will close accident and emergency units from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m in Portlaoise? That had to be stopped. Why does Mr. O'Brien allow his people to make these statements when essentially they have to be put aside and forgotten...

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: My last quick point is a very short one on State Claims Agency payments. It is a big issue. Given that NAMA and the State Claims Agency handle it sometimes, we ask them about it and sometimes we ask Mr. O'Brien about it. In a nutshell, the figures presented to us today for 2014 show that at the end of 2013, the estimated outstanding liability was €1.084 billion. I am taking that...

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: Having asked some general questions, I will ask a few specific questions on the Appropriation Accounts. The introduction on page 2 states that the Health Service Executive (Financial Matters) Act 2014 provided for an amendment to the Valuation Act 2001 to exempt the HSE from the payment of local authority rates on lands and buildings occupied by the HSE. What was the rates bill paid by the...

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: The document did not read that way but that is okay. Page 39 refers to the recovery of costs of health services provided under regulations of the European Union. The HSE recovered €220 million in 2013 and €172 million in 2014, a reduction in the year of €48 million. I understand this is primarily related to people from the United Kingdom who are resident here and...

Chapter 21: Control over the Supply of High-Tech Drugs and Medicines (22 Oct 2015) Seán Fleming: I do not get that. Will Mr. Dempsey go through it again? An Irish citizen must pay accident and emergency charges but the man I met does not have to do so. I understood the point he was making to be that he was entitled to free medical care in England because the National Health Service does not charge at the point of entry. Having moved to Ireland, he was entitled to the same level of...

When a person arrives in an accident and emergency unit, does the HSE send out a bill, only for that person to tell it to send it on to the NHS? How is this covered? Do such people have a card?
