Brian Stanley: Will Ms O'Neill come back with a response on the number of beds in use? It has increased by three this week. It increased by three on Monday. That has to be welcomed. It followed the meeting last week. However there are 20 beds there to use. Will Ms O'Neill come back to me on the progress that will be made on that and why the rest of the beds are not open at this point?

Brian Stanley: If Mr. Reid is able to answer that question, and is happy to do so, he may proceed. I know that it is an issue. It is an issue in my own constituency. The Deputy is correct that the schemes have collapsed, both the dental treatment services scheme, DTSS, and the schools scheme. Is Mr. Reid able to respond to that for Deputy Munster?

Brian Stanley: Is Deputy Munster okay with that? Does she have another question?
- Public Accounts Committee: Mental Health Services - Financial Statements 2020 (10 Mar 2022)
Brian Stanley: The issue raised by Deputy Munster, while not listed on the agenda, is a burning issue across the State. Given these schemes are funded by the Department, I ask that Ms McGirr would come back to the committee with an update on them. The adult dental services scheme for medical card patients has collapsed right across the country. There is not a dentist in County Laois or, as mentioned by...

Brian Stanley: We have come to the end of the questioning, which has been wide-ranging and detailed. It will always be robust on matters to do with health because members are trying to represent the best interests of constituents and the public at large in respect of anything to do with health. I acknowledge the work of the staff in the HSE and the Department. We are not out of Covid yet so I acknowledge...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (10 Mar 2022)
Brian Stanley: The business before us includes minutes, accounts and financial statements, correspondence, work programme and any other business. The minutes of our meeting on 3 March have been circulated. Does any member wish to raise any matter relating to the minutes? Are the minutes agreed? Agreed. As usual, the minutes will be published on the committee's web page. Six sets of financial...

Brian Stanley: The Loughs Agency was given a clear audit opinion. A number of those North-South bodies tend to have very good audit procedures. It is good to see that. They were set up under the Good Friday Agreement. Can we agree to note the accounts and statements? Agreed. As usual, the listing of accounts and financial statements will be published as part of our minutes. We do not have too many...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (10 Mar 2022)
Brian Stanley: We cannot compel it to come because it is not accountable to the Committee of Public Accounts. The request can be made. That can be done but, certainly, there can be no means of compelling its representatives to attend because it is a private company. Once upon a time, it was a semi-State but even commercial semi-States are not compelled, although if that was the case, there would be a...
