Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023) Brian Stanley: To be helpful to the Deputy, this question to the Department relates to value for money.

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023) Brian Stanley: The question is whether a situation such as this has come to Mr. O'Grady's attention as the financial person in the Department.

Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed) (2 Feb 2023) Brian Stanley: I acknowledge nobody from HSE estates is present this morning but my question concerns Abbeyleix hospital.
