Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) David Cullinane: With respect, and I do not want to interrupt, I asked a direct question. With the limited time we have, it would be better if we could get a direct response. Has the HSE done a cost analysis?

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) David Cullinane: Another area that causes some people concern is the increase in agency spend. Again, I will give examples in University Hospital Waterford because I have those figures. In 2012, the total agency spend by the hospital was €1,648,000, in 2013 it was €3,597,000, and in 2014 it was €6,289,000. It reduced slightly in 2015 to €5,145,000 but went back up close to...

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) David Cullinane: Would Mr. O'Brien accept it is more than on the margins if there is in one hospital an increase from €1.6 million in 2012 to almost €6 million three years later?

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) David Cullinane: Does Mr. O'Brien accept they are being forced to do this because they simply do not have the capacity in the public system? Maybe in the past this was due to recruitment problems, the embargo and so on. Whatever the reason, there was a quadrupling of agency spend at University Hospital Waterford. I am trying to understand if that is costing us more, as taxpayers.

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) David Cullinane: I dealt with that with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, who tells me there is no difficulty with recruitment in the public service but, in any event, that is certainly the case in some areas of health. All I needed to know is that there is a greater cost, and that has been acknowledged.

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) David Cullinane: I want to move to a third issue. Again, I want to stick with examples from University Hospital Waterford as I am familiar with it. To ensure Mr. O'Brien was not blindsided, I signalled before the meeting that I would be putting this issue to him. I am trying to understand the relationship between policy, which he is not here to answer for as it is an issue for the Minister, operational...

Clarification of Matters Relating to Meeting of 2 February 2016 (15 Jun 2017) David Cullinane: What will that procurement process involve? There seem to be ongoing issues in regard to compliance and procurement rules within the HSE. We have had many examples - I do not know how many - where the Comptroller and Auditor General has given a qualified reporting of accounts because of breaches of procurement rules in the HSE. In this instance, can the witness say what will happen in...
