In respect of Departmental expenditure, the details requested are set out in the table below. Payments made to Arthur Cox are in relation to third party legal fees.

Expenditure by other bodies under the aegis of the Department is an operational matter for the body concerned and the Deputy should contact the relevant Director/CEO/Registrar directly. I have requested the HSE to respond directly to the Deputy in respect of relevant expenditure. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
