Brian Stanley: The basis upon which the State proceeded was that these were medical card patients in private nursing homes. Do we accept that?

Brian Stanley: I accept that but the grounds on which patients were given redress was that they were medical card patients in a private nursing home. Does Mr. Watt accept that?

Brian Stanley: Surely, what this looks like is that these people were not aware or did not have the wherewithal to pursue a case and make a claim because the other cases were settled outside of court. Is that not the case? These cases were settled privately before they reached the public forum of the court.

Brian Stanley: In relation to what has happened in the past fortnight, does the Department expect an influx of cases involving nursing homes claims relating to the period in question?

Brian Stanley: Mr. Watt does not think so, okay. The matter of this issue being flagged up in financial statements has come up and many people find it odd that it was not in the HSE’s financial statements. In fairness to Mr. Watt, this was before Mr. Watt’s time in the Department. He was in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform at the time. The committee addressed this issue at a...

Brian Stanley: From the point of view of the Committee of Public Accounts doing its work, the previous committee was of the opinion that it was being denied the opportunity to scrutinise. That is evident from the transcripts of the meeting. The €1 billion liability was apparently added as a footnote. That is what was referred to in the transcript. I would find it odd that this would not be...

Brian Stanley: It would be helpful to the committee if Mr. Watt came back with the number of graduates expected to come out of training over the next three years and the number of GPs due to retire. Many of those working in the community now are in their late 50s or early 60s. I am sure Mr. Watt is aware that two adults are now working in the same house. When I was growing up, the doctor was a male and...
