Brian Stanley: I ask the HSE to send a written update to the committee on the situation in CHO 8 across those five therapies. I also ask for a written reply from Ms Kennedy to the following question as I do not expect her to have the details with her, nor do we have the time to go into it. In 2019 there was €138.6 million for dental health, with €62.3 million for public dental health...

Brian Stanley: I want to acknowledge the work done over the last three and a half years. I thought it was longer since Tony O'Brien went but it is not, although it seemed like it. I acknowledge that and that Mr. Reid was there during a difficult period. Covid was a wartime case and it was very difficult. There were many needs that had to be met very quickly. Major reforms of the health service are...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Sep 2022)

Brian Stanley: The committee will be meeting the HSE again next week. Perhaps Deputy Hourigan could clarify the issue then. We must be careful, given that sometimes people tell us things. I do not doubt the veracity of what the Deputy said, but we must be careful, even when information is sometimes less than 100% accurate. Sometimes it is 100% inaccurate. I ask Deputy Hourigan to use the opportunity of...

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Sep 2022)

Brian Stanley: We can raise it with the relevant body. We can put the issue to the HSE in advance of next week so that people know the Deputy seeks clarification.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Sep 2022)

Brian Stanley: I know. That is why I think we should put it to the HSE. We will notify it of the fact that Deputy Hourigan's information is different from what was stated. We will put it to the HSE and let it come back with its position.

Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (29 Sep 2022)

Brian Stanley: Yes, we can take it from there, but we must give the HSE the opportunity to respond. We can decide on the approach to take. Deputy Hourigan can do it within her ten minutes, but I am in favour of letting her do it outside of that given the fact that she feels she has grounds for doing so, based on the fact that she information she received was not correct. Deputy Hourigan has raised it...
