- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: The second item I want to deal with - I hope I will be able to come back in on a few other matters later - relates to the settlement of the employment case. This cropped up in the C and AG's report. It jumped out to us. I understand that there is a mediated situation and that this constrains what can be said. The settlement comprised €1.37 million for a loss of potential private...

Catherine Murphy: It is astronomical. It really is-----

Catherine Murphy: -----and it indicates that the power was all on one side here. I asked a question some time ago about the contractor that is building the national children's hospital and contracts over the past ten years for the same entity. There were seven of them, totalling €93 million, in different locations. What was the profile for looking at how they had worked out and whether they were on...

Catherine Murphy: That is general, however.

Catherine Murphy: Will Mr. Gloster please do that and revert to us?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I will probably not be here for the response but the committee will receive it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I congratulate the Cathaoirleach on being the first woman appointed to chair the Committee of Public Accounts.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I thank both our Leas-Chathaoirleach and former Cathaoirleach for their inputs to the Committee on Public Accounts during my term. I thank the witnesses for their attendance. I will start with a quick question about capital infrastructure. What is the update on to the 97-bed block for Wexford General Hospital? Will Ms McGirr answer?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I thank Ms McGirr. I do not know who is responsible with regard to the home care support services but I am very concerned about the volume of calls I am getting whereby those in receipt of the care and their home carers are being informed they are no longer allowed to feed those they are supporting. While this has been sent out in the form of an email with the guidelines set down in a HSE...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I am particularly discussing someone who has a 22-year-old dependent child who is intellectually and physically disabled and unable to feed himself.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: That is fine.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: No, this has gone across.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: We have sent the information. We will re-send it. If it is that and there should be a reassessment, the HSE should not be writing to parents and putting the fear of God into them that this is no longer a part of the care that is provided because it is a very stressful environment already. I will take that up with Ms Broderick.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: I know that and I appreciate that but it is very concerning and upsetting. My other question might also be for Ms McGirr. Will she give an update on a medical centre for New Ross, County Wexford? The latest proposal was turned down as it was no longer viable, apparently. Can I have an update on that please? I have a question for Mr. Mulvany. How much does it cost to keep a public...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: A standard fee with no machines.

- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: If a 15-year-old was in a bed for 91 days with acute anorexia in a public hospital with no specialty department, would it raise a red flag for anybody? Would a question be asked either clinically or administratively?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Verona Murphy: The last time Mr. Mulvany appeared before the committee I put it to him that there had been a young girl with anorexia in University Hospital Waterford for 30 days. I was incorrect. I am stating on the record that it was actually 91 days. There was no clinical intervention that she should be moved until I got involved, and there was no administrative intervention to ask why she was there....
