John McGuinness: I am not asking about policy. How much short is Mr. O'Brien's budget? I ask this with regard to the negotiations that have been engaged in with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. How much was requested and how much was received?

John McGuinness: No, I will not do so. I am here today as Chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts. Dr. McLoughlin must have prepared a request relating to the funding because a Minister will only act on an outline of what he is told is required by the HSE to run its affairs. I will ask a different question. Are the figures of how much was requested and how much was received secrets? How much did Dr....

John McGuinness: I understand that because I have been a Member of these Houses since 1997 and have a reasonable idea how the system works, though every Thursday at this committee is an education for me as to how the system does not work. Did Dr. McLoughlin ask the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform for a specific budget in order that the Minister could be informed? How much was requested?

John McGuinness: I am not surprised that Dr. McLoughlin will not answer. What does Mr. O'Brien think of this budget issue? Did Mr O'Brien prepare figures for Dr. McLoughlin in order that he could fight the case on behalf of Mr. O'Brien and ensure sufficient funds were received? Obviously Mr. O'Brien prepared a budget.

John McGuinness: My question does not relate to the decisions of the Government, which I understand. I want to know how the process works and Mr. O'Brien has clarified this matter. It is the case that the HSE prepares a budget plan taking known and unknown factors into account and arrives at a figure as a best estimate of its needs for the year. Mr. O'Brien, in turn, then presents that to Mr. McLoughlin,...

John McGuinness: I ask witnesses, those in the Visitors Gallery and committee members to ensure their mobile phones are switched off because they interfere with the sound transmission. Witnesses are protected by absolute privilege in respect of the evidence they give to the committee. However, if they are directed by it to cease giving evidence on a particular matter and continue to do so, they are...
