The publication of the HSE performance reports was delayed pending finalisation of the HSE's 2017 Annual Financial Statements (AFS). The Department was engaging with the HSE to clarify the reported financial position and its impact on the AFS and the first charge. This process has now been completed and the AFS has been signed off by the Comptroller and Auditor General. I intend to lay a copy of the 2017 HSE Annual Report and Financial Statements before the House of the Oireachtas shortly.

Publication of the performance reports will now proceed. I expect that the 2017 quarter four report will be published imminently and the 2018 first quarter report will be published by the end of June.
