Brian Stanley: It went to Covid-related matters. Was that with the Department's agreement?
- Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)

- Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)
Brian Stanley: No, I am clear enough on that. I do not want to take too much time on this. I have a question for Ms McGirr from the Department of Health. Is the Department happy with the level of oversight it has when budgets are reallocated or reassigned?

Brian Stanley: The Parliamentary Budget Office produced a report in 2018. The paper examined the process of disbursal of voted expenditure under Vote 38 in the Health Service Executive's national service plan. It goes on to comment on the integrated financial management system and the delays in that regard. I raise this in the context of the considerable disquiet and frustration within the Houses of the...

Brian Stanley: I thank Ms McGirr for elaborating on that. Our guests might respond very briefly to my final question. The need for an integrated financial management system was highlighted in 2014 and there have been several deadlines for its completion. The last one I heard about was for 2024.

- Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)
Brian Stanley: The delay in getting that integrated financial management system in place is too long. It will take a decade and two years from the time when it was recognised it was needed to get it in place. I am sure our guests will appreciate that.

Brian Stanley: If members want to come in a second time, I ask those online to signal by using the raise hand function and those in the room to raise their hands. There was a meeting with local public representatives, councillors and Deputies last week to discuss the Abbeyleix facility with HSE senior management. Mr. Curran's colleague from HSE estates was there. It was a reasonably positive meeting. In...

Brian Stanley: I want Mr. Curran to come back to me on the bricks-and-mortar part. This really is a pressing issue. When places are closed it can be hard to open them again. At the meeting last week, the day-care centre in Monastrevin was mentioned as a case in point. It is really important. HSE management were present at that meeting and I do not want to misrepresent what they said. The case was made...
