Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) John McGuinness: Mr. O'Brien might investigate this then. How much does a locum cost? Let me put it a different way. Can a locum earn what a consultant would earn per annum in a three or four month period? Is that a possibility?

Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) John McGuinness: Over a period of four years, 25 different locums have been in and out of Letterkenny hospital.

Returning to the budget, it was stated by the HSE that it is facing serious problems or significant financial challenges this year in relation to the budget. At this stage, by comparison, the HSE is three times over the deficit of last year. What is the forecast for the rest of the year? Has Dr. McLoughlin been informed?

Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) John McGuinness: I must put this scenario to Mr. O'Brien, who may correct me if I am wrong in these figures as I go along. It is a business.

Chapter 22 - Eligibility for Medical Cards (12 Jun 2014) John McGuinness: I ask Mr. O'Brien to furnish a report to Deputy O'Donnell. I will continue with the Limerick group and perhaps will ask a more general question of Dr. McLoughlin. Were Mr. O'Brien to decide, for example, that an assistant is needed in the aforementioned hospital group, who would clear that decision? Is it Dr. McLoughlin or is it Mr. O'Brien? Who has the authority in that regard?
