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...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: Could the directors of St. Vincent’s address this issue in the body of their accounts to ensure that they do not have an adverse opinion because other organisations do not have one?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: That is good because we are talking about €202 million of taxpayers’ money and when I see an adverse opinion saying accounts do not give a true and fair view, I respectfully suggest that the board of St. Vincent’s could learn from best practice in other section 38 organisations which have dealt with this in a more transparent way.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: I thank everyone for being here. I will start with St. Vincent’s University Hospital because it is clear to me that all is not well. I will begin with Ms Buckley. It seems from the latest tranche of letter writing by our new pen pal that there is an effort to try to divide and conquer Departments. This may be a sign of things to come in how we will deal with this issue at St....

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: That is a very helpful and comprehensive statement from Ms Buckley and I believe that is the answer to Mr. Jermyn, if he is watching. In preparing his statement Mr. Jermyn might take into consideration the clear view of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. I will return to the HSE. I am looking at the list it sent us of the additional remuneration payments made from private,...

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Simon Harris: I will keep going. I have a question for Mr. O'Brien on the service level agreement. It seems clear that when a person signs a service level agreement, he or she is signing up to be in compliance with public sector pay policy. Can we check who signed service level agreements? Does Mr. O'Brien know who signed them? Would it have been the chief executive? Who would normally sign them?
