Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: Mr. O'Brien sees my point. He says the HSE did not really know about this until 2011, but in 2009 the HSE held a high-level meeting with the CRC, the CRC came out with its hands up and stated it was paying these staff top-ups, the HSE said "stop it",-----

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: I am incredulous at Mr. O'Brien talking about it as an isolated case given the then Department of Health and Children expressed concerns about it in 2005, the example of some concern in 1996 and the statistics we have now. It was an epidemic breaking out. This was not an isolated case. It was an epidemic. If the HSE did not know, it should have known. It is all very well for Dr....

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: Presumably, the boards of all these hospitals, clinics and whatever else must have known about it. There must have been hundreds of staff within the health service who knew about this. What worries me is that the HSE and the Department of Health seemed to be the only ones who did not know about it.

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: That is incredible. It must have been widely known within those hospitals and other organisations where it was happening, and the only ones who did not know it were the Department of Health and the HSE. When the HSE found out about the CRC, did the HSE tell the Department of Health about it?

Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (19 Dec 2013) Shane Ross: It would be useful. Could Mr. O'Brien tell me about the chain of command? When this happens, and when the HSE discovered what it discovered, does the HSE tell the Department of Health? Who does the HSE inform?
