Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: On the same page, the cost of prompt payment interest and compensation is €869,000. What went wrong in that year that gave rise to this level of payment, which did not occur the previous year? Why did the HSE not pay its bills on time?

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: Would that mean that, because the HSE had the derogation from the previous year, it effectively has a payment in there covering the previous year as well?

2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: What happened? It is inexcusable that €1 million in taxpayers' money was lost because people did not process payments. That sum would go a long way in the various areas mentioned, for example, the home help service. One cannot throw €1 million out the door just for not paying invoices in time. Do the witnesses take my point?

Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: I ask Mr. Mulvany to send the committee a detailed note as to how this arose. I can only go on the figure provided, which is €869,000. I do not know what figure Mr. Mulvany is referring to.

Vote 38 - Department of Health (5 Jul 2018) Seán Fleming: A settlement of €2.194 million would be big news. This is a big settlement, even if Mr. Mulvany considers it small relative to the HSE budget. Why did the HSE underpay tax by such a large amount? That figure relates to 2016. What was the position in 2017?
