The HSE is now in a position to calculate the first payments due to clients on interest retained on Patient Private Property (PPP) funds invested on client's behalf since 2005. All funds required to make these payments are retained in the PPP fund and are available to transfer. The HSE will be in a position to commence actual payments in the next couple of weeks.

The HSE is continuing the validation of data on client balances nationally to allow the calculation of actual interest owed and assign that interest to existing clients' PPP accounts or arrange for the payment to be passed on directly to clients or their estate.
