Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: It is good that the HSE generally wins them. Are many of the 2,400 agencies the subject of any specific interest regarding issues similar to those that occurred in Console and Rehab? Is there, let us say, a top ten or 15 organisations that the HSE, with the limited resources available to it, has identified as requiring a particularly close examination?

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: I thank the witnesses for clarifying that issue. The following groups are voluntary hospice groups, Galway Hospice, Marymount Hospice, Cork, Milford Hospice in the mid-west, North West Hospice, Sligo and St. Francis Hospice in Raheny. All of these facilities have confirmed to the HSE that they were directed by it to implement pay cuts under both the Financial Emergency Measures in the...

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: I would like to continue because a vote has been called in the Dáil.

All of these staff have long established and recognised contractual pay linkages with HSE...

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: Returning to my first question, should the hospice network, given the work it does, come within the section 38 sector?

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Marc MacSharry: It is not the role of the committee to comment on policy either. In terms of the committee's work, we commented earlier on the issue of additional regulation and if with additional funding the HSE could do more on the section 39 issues discussed at that time. Would it make better sense for the hospice network, in terms of doing its work, to be treated as a section 38 organisation?
