- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: We have already agreed to make time available when the HSE is in to discuss the section 38 and 39 bodies. To be clear, the terms of reference, and I am reading from the report, was an independent review of the cost of care from 2009 to 2016 of a specific individual in the care of the service provider and the funding provided by the HSE to the service provider. The letter from the...
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: Every one of us will agree that the HSE commissioned this report, set the terms of reference, approved all of the drafts, inserted much of its own views into the drafts and paid for the report. Therefore, we do not accept for a minute-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: The Committee of Public Accounts can unanimously agree this is not an independent report. It is a document procured by the HSE from Deloitte at its request. The HSE may choose to use that word but no reasonable person can use it. I think we are agreed on that.
- Public Accounts Committee: Business of Committee (12 Oct 2017)
Seán Fleming: We have to be conscious. The service provider has gone to the High Court on this as well. Despite all of the issues, it has settled the issue.

This precludes the HSE from disclosing this report to any third party without Deloitte's...

Seán Fleming: Coming back to Deloitte, there is a confidentiality agreement. I am not casting any views on Deloitte. What I am saying is that we have to work through the HSE, which is the body accountable to us. I ask members to consider this matter. The HSE is coming into us in a few weeks and we still have time. We need to be clear on how we are going to deal with that meeting when it happens.

Seán Fleming: Absolutely. We will note items Nos. 775 and 790 (C) as they have just been discussed. The next is item No. 787, correspondence from the Health Information and Quality Authority, HIQA. This is additional information in follow-up to our meeting on 28 September. Interestingly, the correspondence refers specifically to policy so I propose that we refer this to the Joint Oireachtas Committee...
