Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: Mr. Flynn can understand my asking the question. Regarding the service level agreements, I have tabled a series of parliamentary questions about all organisations across the entire public service, not just those in the witnesses' area. I asked to be informed of organisations where there are payments of over €1 million per annum. I did not go way down. One paragraph of the reply I...

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: When I got this reply to my parliamentary question just three weeks ago, it was stated that the outstanding amount to be paid to 23 organisations was €217 million, so it has improved in the last three weeks to some extent.

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: I understand that. From the audit point of view, what is the split of the internal audit function's time between auditing the section 39 agreements, which account for almost €4 billion, and the other €10 billion of HSE directly funded? What is the balance of the allocation of the HSE's manpower or workload or-----

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: From a risk point of view, where does Mr. Flynn think the biggest risk is from public funding? Is it through the section 38s, is it equal or is there a greater risk-----

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: There was a lot of discussion here today about getting the financial statements from these major organisations. I know they are not all published, but the HSE gets them. I think I saw a reference to the community health care organisations, CHOs, in the different regions having to get a copy of these. Is there not a mechanism whereby if an organisation has an agreement with the HSE but...

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: Will the witnesses explain to me why one CHO should have to do it? Should that not be a central function? If different CHOs are dealing with it and if the financial statements come in centrally, I would have thought there should be a linkage between whoever signs the national service level agreement - we will call it that and we will take a large organisation - and that that section should...

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: I understand that point where a provider has not fully completed the process. Mr. Mulvany mentioned he received the financial statements as part of their annual audit of financial statements. I ask him to forward a list of the organisations allocated funding of more than €3 million and the last date of the financial statement he received. Before he came in, we were talking about the...

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: I make this point in a light-hearted manner. Is there any prospect Mr. O'Brien could second the staff in that section to the Department of Education and Skills-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Report of Comptroller and Auditor General 2016
Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: -----because some of the education and training board, ETBs, have not submitted accounts in two or three years? Those are public bodies. The organisations about which the witnesses are speaking are one step removed from public bodies. The HSE has achieved this because it writes the cheque. It holds the purse strings. Some of the third level institutions, the universities, are several...

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: Correct. I will ask Mr. O'Brien, in his own time, to assist this committee in this context. The HSE has improved a measure and got it right, something that has not happened in other public sector bodies. We are dealing with major State companies and the Comptroller and Auditor General is still waiting for public bodies to present their accounts for 2015, not to mind the clearance for...

Chapter 19 - Management and Oversight of Grants to Health Agencies (26 Oct 2017) Seán Fleming: Absolutely. I will get into trouble with somebody else for being nice to Mr. O'Brien here today. I do not only look at the negative. Where I see something good in the public service, I want it replicated. On the issue of public pay, we spoke about that in the context of the organisation previously. Ms. Mannion had a file earlier but I am not asking her to go through that. She said...
