Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)

Joe Costello: Did the HSE give us the full story on 10 December? The impression that was clearly given was that no individuals had been placed - to the letter of the law, that was accurate - by the South Eastern Health Board, the HSE or any voluntary service provider, but that was not the full story. Was the HSE aware at the time of a broader story of private placements that whoever wrote this chose not...

Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)

Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)

Joe Costello: This conceals the fact that other people were there. It gives the impression that the only people who were going there were the ones who were coming either from the SEHB, the HSE or the voluntary service providers. Now we know that other people were there. We could not have known it from the information provided by the HSE.

Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)

Joe Costello: I have not asked Mr. Healy about that case yet. Why was further information not divulged to us about other people who were there subsequently, having been placed in a private capacity and of whom the HSE was aware? It had read the Resilience report, which referred to this matter, but the HSE did not advert to it.

Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)

Joe Costello: It is not quite the answer. There is no reference to those other people in the response that came to us initially. They are included in the 47, but they are not included in the information that was divulged to us.

Joe Costello: For clarification, is it 47 plus nine, or-----

Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)

Joe Costello: In the briefing document that was given to us on 10 December, the impression is given that there is nobody else there at all other than the people who were referred by the South-Eastern Health Board, the HSE or the voluntary providers. There is no reference whatsoever to private referrals or other charitable referrals.
