2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: It is not, with respect. I will go a bit further to make it a bit easier for Mr. Breslin. At the time the circular was issued, the circular that was sent to consultants pertained to, as we now know, 209 women. At that point only a small number of them had been informed. Discretion was given to consultants as to whether they should tell the patients. They knew the scale of it at that...

2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: I do not think Mr. Breslin understands the point I am making. There was a court case in 2014 which was settled. At that point, did people in the HSE know about Vicky Phelan's situation?

2016 Financial Statements of the State Claims Agency
2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: My point is that certain people in the HSE knew that there had been false readings or worse in the cases of 209 women and a conscious decision was taken that discretion should be given to consultants and a circular was sent out in that regard. Surely, it would have been important for the Department also to have been made aware of that?

2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: I will stop Dr. Holohan there because that is what I am focused on: that the non-disclosure of that information was wrong. The non-disclosure of the information was partly due to the circular that was issued. We all agree that the non-disclosure was wrong. A conscious decision was made, for whatever reason, to give consultants discretion not to inform all of the patients and it is clear...

2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: The Comptroller and Auditor General previously appeared before the committee in regard to issues relating to An Garda Síochána and information not being given. The Comptroller and Auditor General was clear that the information should be given to him as a matter of course and he would make the decision on its importance. Mr. Breslin is essentially stating that those within the HSE...

2016 Financial Statements of the HSE (10 May 2018) David Cullinane: Is that not the point? The director general comes in for an hour and a half and then leaves but the critical issue pertains to decisions that were made by certain individuals and yet none of these witnesses are in a position to answer questions in that regard. I find that extraordinary and all the more reason why those central to those decisions should be brought before us next week. ...
