Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: I have another question about the legal proceedings. Is it the case that there are people here in the legal system in Ireland who have a connection with China? I presume that it is.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: Another issue relating to the legal proceedings is that it is fine to get a court order or whatever the process in China is, but there is also the matter of collecting. Has that been analysed in regard to whether or not it is feasible? If there were an order at further recovery would that be deliverable on at the end of the day?

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: It is the case, then, that for €500,000 in expenditure, we got back €30 million of what we were trying to recover.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: That is okay. I want to move on to the issue of the operation of the National Treatment Purchase Fund, NTPF. There is a major problem with delays in getting access to treatment. If someone has an 18-month or two-year delay in getting access to treatment, they may very well then require a higher degree of treatment, at a far higher cost. Has the NTPF been analysed regarding how we can...

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: Can I go back to the issue of the process? I have come across a process whereby a person is referred to be assessed under the National Treatment Purchase Fund. The person who assessed them then sets out a report on the care they require. This may include surgery, for example. The person is referred back to the HSE for that surgery. The problem, then, is that the consultants to whom they...

Special Report No. 114 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Emergency Procurement of Ventilators by the HSE
Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: I know, but there is a concern about this process that the person they are then referred to will say that they are not prepared to do a surgery until they do their assessment.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: Therefore, while the HSE might be taking them off the waiting list, it is technically putting them back onto another waiting list.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: I am asking if there is a need to review this, first because of the decision regarding treatment abroad and people's entitlements. The second reason relates to the process I am talking about, which is not actually expediting the reduction of the list in real terms.

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: One of the problems we are all coming across is the length of time people are on the waiting list. By the time they require treatment, in fact, the degree of treatment they require has greatly increased. Can we look at the system with a view to taking people off the waiting list at an earlier stage and getting them referred out? There seems to be a policy that we will not even dare talk...

Vote 38 - Health (11 May 2023) Colm Burke: I got a letter back from a hospital telling me that a patient had only been on the list since 2021, more or less clearly indicating to me that it was not prepared to put the patient on the list under the NTPF.
