As was indicated in the Health Service Executive's reply to the Deputy which issued on 18th May, the National Hospitals Office commissioned a company, Tribal Secta, to conduct a process mapping exercise across ten acute hospitals nationally. The consultancy was procured under EU tendering regulations, which ensured openness and transparency. My Department is advised by the Executive that Tribal Secta and Mercury Healthcare, which provides standalone treatment centres at various locations in the United Kingdom, are both members of the Tribal Group plc.
