The review undertaken by Mr Tom Beegan, Consultant, at the request of Ernst & Young and on behalf of the HSE, was entitled A Plan to Integrate and Improve Disability Services, and was separate to the Value for Money and Policy Review of Disability Services in Ireland report which I published in 2012.

The HSE have informed me that Ernst & Young was awarded the contract in January 2013 to conduct the review, following the relevant public procurement process in November 2012 under the HSE's Framework Agreement for the Provision of Personnel Placement & Supply Services. Mr Tom Beegan was the lead consultant nominated by the company to carry out the work.

The daily rate charged by Ernst & Young for work on the review was €1,107 per day including VAT. The review was completed in April 2013 and involved 68 working days. The total cost incurred was €75,276.00 including VAT.
