Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (16 Jan 2014) Robert Dowds: I have a question about the former chief executive officer of St. Vincent's Private Hospital, Mr. Michael Redmond. I understand Mr. Redmond departed from that position in July 2013. Did he receive a lump sum on departure? I understand also that he subsequently took a consultancy job in the public hospital. Is that correct?

I will begin by going back to the question of consultants. I ask Professor Whelan to explain the composition of the board of St. Vincent's Hospital. Who is on it? How is it selected? How does it operate?
