Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (27 Nov 2013) John McGuinness: Surely, then Dr. Smith must tell the Department that this is not acceptable, there is no note on the file and, therefore, they are not authorised payments.

Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (27 Nov 2013) John McGuinness: Would hotel accommodation provided for consultants be part of this trawl of bonus payments? The committee conducted hearings over a long period on departmental expenses and prepared a report on it. It would appear we did not ask the right questions because none of this showed up. There are issues around top-up payments in section 38 bodies even though in 2011 we knew it was happening in...

Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (27 Nov 2013) John McGuinness: Deputy Fleming asked about the tax clearance certificates and Mr. O'Brien stated they must be produced. For whom must they be produced? Rather than answering the question as to whether the entities are tax compliant, the delegates should state who actually sees the tax clearance certificates.

Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (27 Nov 2013) John McGuinness: Can Dr. Smith state that each and every agency has provided a tax clearance certificate rather than suggest evidence of tax compliance? The latter is the subject that Deputy Fleming asked Mr. O'Brien about. Has a HSE officer seen each and every tax clearance certificate involved? Are they up to date?

Vote 39 - Health Service Executive (27 Nov 2013) John McGuinness: The second question arising from what Deputy Fleming said concerns the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, which is being represented today by Mr. Peter Brazel.

If approval was sought, it was presumably sought in the days...
