Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: I know it has been a long day and I have no wish to be pedantic but, from the taxpayer's point of view, the HSE and the State are funding an individual to be CEO of St. Vincent's University Hospital. Whomever the relevant individuals want to pay to run the private hospital is their own business because that is a separate post. However, the St. Vincent's Healthcare Group's corporate...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: It is not a terribly complicated question. I understand the restrictions on Mr. O'Brien, who is not, after all, responsible for running St. Vincent's University Hospital. However, the State is funding that institution. In the simplest terms, I am seeking to discover whether the post of chief executive of the university hospital is a full-time one that is paid for by the taxpayer. If the...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: I welcome what I regard as the improvements in the governance standards and the new documents that the HSE has put together. When I put this point to St. Vincent's last week it responded with a media statement to the effect that this was a reasonable question and one that it would consider. I ask it to strongly consider it for the reasons that Mr. O’Brien has correctly given, to...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: The point stands that my most recent inquiry established that it had not submitted the 2012 accounts to the Companies Registration Office. I will talk Dr. Smith through this. Page 6 of the healthcare group’s accounts contains a report from the independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers. This seems to be a confusing and complex area. Somebody might guide me on it. There is an...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: That is interesting because I want to be careful here. We had a detailed discussion with the Mater hospital earlier which was very useful. I do not want anybody to be worried about their pension. I fully understand that it is effectively underwritten by the taxpayer. I do not know whether you can shed any light on my query. I took St. Vincent’s at its word that this adverse...
