Brian Stanley: Next, 23 November-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: We will include delivery of the national development plan for discussion with the Department of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform that day. On 23 November we will have the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage before us. There is a proposal that we invite in the Housing Agency as well on that occasion. Moving on, on 30 November we will...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: Yes. We get lost in it because there is so much there. The Comptroller and Auditor General might want to comment on this. Is there anything we can do about the fact that the Department of Health provides the budget, the HSE comes up with a service plan, and budgets are then put in place for each section, under each heading? Is there any way we can work through that with the Department...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: I am saying this in the context of the new regional health structures. There is a need to question what is being done and that there should be a governance structure at regional level. Within that governance, accountancy and accountability, service delivery should be clearly linked up to budget and service delivery. Per region.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: Yes. How is that going to be done, from the point of view of the Committee of Public Accounts? If we do not, what is going to happen is that we are going to have nine regional health areas, or nine smaller versions of what we had. That is where the whole thing gets lost in the middle.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: Deputy Murphy is correct, and that is one part of it. The part of it I am trying to nail down is from the point of view of the budget being allocated for a particular service within the new health areas, and how we see delivery. The point that has been made before is that in some places one has budgets but little or no outcome. Yet, there is a budget there. What happens to the budget in...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: The money gets lost along the way. There seems to be the budget outcome but in the middle one has this. It is correct to say that because the areas are not aligned, it allows for a situation where people can say they are not aligned or whatever else. If they are going to be aligned, we need to know the road that money travels between the budget and actual dental services or hip...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: That is another question.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: With regard to framing it and bringing in the Department of Health, we can talk about the establishment of the new regional health areas, budget controls, budgets and outcomes-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: -----and governance, and the connections between these. Agency costs is one that we could put in again, according to what was said the last day Mr. McCarthy was in. There is also the question of the regional structures trying to move to a public health system in the context of Sláintecare. Are there are any other matters that members want to include on the work programme?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: We have a response in correspondence. It is there today.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: It is No. 2171. There is a letter there from Mr. Donal Hamilton of McCann FitzGerald in response to a request for a progress update on the ongoing review of the RTÉ's voluntary exit programmes.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: It is due for completion by the end of October. That is what it is saying in that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: That would be 7 May 2020?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: Might we get it for Christmas?
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: Just one second, please. I call Deputy Burke.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: No. We have just gone through the request for it. There is a request drafted and it is ready to go.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: We made slight alterations to it today. It is this document here. It is a request that the Committee on Parliamentary Privileges and Oversight, CPPO extends its powers to request to compel that. It does not have to go to the Dáil. It is just the CPPO, and hopefully that will be forthcoming. When we will have it, I do not know. We will keep one slot but bear in mind the six weeks'...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: There are two documents. One relates to McCann FitzGerald, and that correspondence should be straightforward. The note and record of the meeting of 7 May 2020 should also be straightforward. We could always use an afternoon session, if we have to, to deal with that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (19 Oct 2023)
Brian Stanley: Yes, that is it. We may not even require a meeting, which would be a better situation. We also have the option of using the afternoons. The Department of Health is one with regard to some of those matters mentioned. Do members have any other ones they want to put in? I do not recall us having the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission in. Then there is the Irish Human Rights...
