- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (20 Dec 2013)
Simon Harris: I thank the Chairman and the committee secretariat for the proactive way in which they pursued this issue. St. Vincent's has not made it easy to do so. The letter we received from the hospital yesterday borders on a waste of paper in that it refused to provide us with any of the information we sought which was not already in the public domain. Two key questions emerged for me during the...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: I thank Dr. Smith for outlining the position. On page 15 of the health care group accounts that directors' remuneration for services as directors in the years 2011 and 2010 were nil, while the respective amounts for other services in those years were €554,377 and €626,656. Again, I understand St. Vincent's has made public comment on this matter. It would, however, be useful...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: Okay. So St. Vincent's has a little graph on its website which refers to the group board of directors, the group executive, the group chief executive, the CEO of the university hospital, the CEO of the private hospital and the hospital manager of St. Michael's. Is the HSE paying the salary of the CEO of the university hospital?

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...

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...
