Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Peter Burke: Let us refer to someone going for maternity services. Forget about disease and seriousness of case. Let us say people are going in for routine examinations, some of whom are private and some of whom are public patients. I would have thought that would be very straightforward to distinguish. Any control system worth its salt should be able to differentiate between them.

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Peter Burke: If one were to look at the tax return of an average consultant based on the 0% to 30% rule for private practice, one would see scheduled employment income from the HSE and also private income. We have heard from the Revenue Commissioners and other bodies in both the finance committee and at this committee about Revenue operations to clamp down on practices put in place by consultants in...

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Peter Burke: I know there can be reasons for things, but that tells one something is not right in the system when it is exceptionally off. It is unacceptable that the State and the HSE do not have a handle on fee income from private patients coming into a public hospital and using public facilities.

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Peter Burke: I do not dispute the commitment of consultants in general to their role. However, we need safeguards for the public. We need safeguards for the HSE and the Department to ensure items like this cannot grow to excess.

Chapter 16 - Control of Private Patient Activity in Acute Public Hospitals (27 Jun 2019) Peter Burke: We hear about relatively minor capital projects, for example, the publicly funded purchase of an MRI scanner in Mullingar, where alterations have been made to a contract and the HSE insists a tender must take place for those alterations.
