Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023) Brian Stanley: In the case of County Laois, there is a new building. On the basis of any glance at this system, and having tried to look at it as a layperson, I cannot see how you could run it, manage it or hand it to anybody and expect him or her to keep on top of it, because it has so many potential flaws and weaknesses. There are so many opportunities. There are so many links to the chain that if...

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023) Brian Stanley: I thank Mr. Mulvany for that. I acknowledge that an interim solution was put in place. That is a temporary measure, however; there is no permanent solution. After the meeting, I can show the witnesses the last piece of information I received. It is not tied up yet. It was not as of a few days ago, despite the best efforts of HSE management. The simple fact is that the GPs and whoever...

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023) Brian Stanley: I acknowledge that individual GPs are doing fantastic work. However, what I am saying to Mr. Mulvany is that when depending on agencies and private companies to do the administration and all that type of thing, they can pull the plug if they do not get the cash, or sufficient cash. Is that not correct?

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023) Brian Stanley: I acknowledge that individual GPs are doing it. Different GPs in different parts of the State report problems with payment. I am not going to get into specific cases. There was a review of out-of-hours GP services in 2010 and a further review in 2016. I have the recommendations from the 2010 review to hand. I do not have those from 2016 because I understand the 2016 report was never...

Can he tell me why the 2016 report was put on a shelf, into a box or into a drawer at the back of a filing cabinet? It has not seen the light of day.

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023) Brian Stanley: GPs are under huge pressure. You would be reluctant to go near them in winter unless you really need to because you already know that they have a substantial workload. I acknowledge that. Of course, the number needs to be increased because the ratio of GPs per head of population is only a little over half of what we need.
