Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: I appreciate the numbers. All I know from listening to colleagues is the level of demand. I know that I am edging into the area of the Joint Committee on Health, but at the end of the day it is about money.

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: Was the increase substantially eaten up by whatever agreements were in place with carers for remuneration, travel subsistance payments and so on?

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: The witnesses can come back to me with it. Let me outline the message. We have the Minister trumpeting budget increases, but in real terms there has not been an increase in the level of care provided because we have reached the summer and vulnerable persons in certain CHO areas - I know that this is the experience nationwide from talking to colleagues across parties - are being refused home...

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: Figures wise, it all sounds great, but at the end of the day the proof of the pudding is in the eating. There is demand. There are 83 year olds waiting who cannot care for themselves. They are being discharged because there is a need to free up beds, but they do not have anybody to advocate for them because they are a widow or a widower. I am thinking of a specific case, but everyone here...

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: I know that there is a need for budget savings, but these are ill and vulnerable people. Can they not be prioritised? I could wear a delay on a capital project for a short period to cater for people who in the here and now are badly in need of support.

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: I have several questions on section 38 agencies. If this was substantially covered while I was not present, the Chairman might tell me because I do not want to go over ground that has been covered. The majority of section 38 agencies were non-compliant or not fully compliant with public procurement. What are we doing about that?

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: I love the language. It sounds like addiction recovery: "We are on a journey". Anyway, we will watch this space. For people watching, a section 38 agency is basically a privately owned, independent operator that is contracted by the HSE to carry out services. Is that it, in layman's terms?

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: It is voluntary, such as an NGO. It is a voluntary organisation and the HSE contracts it to do a particular job, pays it to do that job and assesses its performance on that.

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: With regard to the procurement that the Comptroller and Auditor General refers to in the context of the €2.2 billion, which is based on the sample, is that different altogether?

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: That is HSE non-compliance. That is a sample that suggests we are possibly not getting value for money on €600 million worth, if the sample is indicative. Is that correct?

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Marc MacSharry: Is there any analysis? I know that, sometimes, something is needed immediately and it is perhaps not possible to tender. Is any analysis done of the companies where procurement is not being met or there are not proper tendering processes in regard to conflicts of interest? Has any analysis been done of those operators who are doing work or service providers or wholesalers where, for...
