Gabrielle McFadden: If one was in private industry, one would not order something from a company unless there was a purchase order number. If it was a privately run company it would have been shut down by now because of the amount of money that has been wasted.

Gabrielle McFadden: May I ask about the private health insurance? I know it was touched on earlier. Can I ask which hospital is owed the largest amount of money and what exactly the HSE is doing to recoup that money? I ask because I know Mr. O'Brien said that there was €150 million outstanding. Again, if that was a business it would have closed by now. I work with excellent people in the HSE - I have...

Gabrielle McFadden: When there is a cashflow issue, it does affect it. If there is not cash coming in that is supposed to be coming in, there is a cashflow issue. Beds have to be closed on occasion because a hospital runs over its budget or whatever, so it does affect it.

Gabrielle McFadden: What is the advantage of paying companies €38 million for cleaning compared with the old days when the HSE employed domestic staff to do it? In the old days there was no MRSA, and there were matrons going around with white gloves checking whether everything was clean. There was not as much MRSA and talk about hospital bugs as now. I accept that things have changed.

Gabrielle McFadden: I am not questioning any of the companies, which are all good and viable. I was just curious about how cost-effective it was. I refer to the community supports Mr. Healy mentioned when we talked about the fair deal. At Christmas, a huge number of people were on trolleys in emergency departments. When I went to visit one of them between Christmas and the new year, a huge percentage of the...
