- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I saw a figure regarding the outpatient waiting lists having been reduced by 50,000 people. Mr. Gloster is saying this is a real reduction rather than a validation exercise.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: Will Mr. Gloster repeat that figure?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I accept that point. The experience just shone a light on the outpatients waiting list for me.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: We do not know, but this may be the last or the second last meeting of this committee. It will certainly be the last meeting during this Dáil when Mr. Gloster will be before us anyway.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: I am very much cognisant of the volume of money associated with this hearing. We are talking about €23.5 billion. Many Government Departments could be folded into that figure. In 2019, the figure was €16 billion. Essentially, there has been a 46% increase in the funding of the HSE over the past four years, that is, the lifetime of this Government. In 60 seconds, can Mr....

Paul McAuliffe: I would love to explore that point more but I just do not have the time. Turning to the non-compliant procurement, this is the first thing we look at in this committee. The HSE estimated that the total expenditure on goods and services subject to procurement rules was €4.2 billion. Again, this amount is multiples of an entire Government Department in some cases. The idea that...

Paul McAuliffe: When the HSE did the self-assessed audit, there was a very significant percentage of either non-co-operation or where you could not identify the purchaser. The figure of 12% actually could be higher.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: Just to return to that point, Mr. Mulvany is saying the figure of 12% does include the 13% of invoices within the scope of the exercise where either the manager responsible could not be identified or where the manager failed to respond to the exercise. He is saying that 13% is deemed non-compliant and is included in the 12%.

Paul McAuliffe: Will the C and AG confirm that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Paul McAuliffe: Can we get a note back on that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Go raibh maith agat, a Chathaoirligh, agus comhghairdeas. I want to follow up on the issue of one individual who earned over €1 million, with €700,000 of that being an addition in their salary, and the instance whereby a significant portion of that was for a single shift where the person was paid at a rate of six hours per patient for each of four patients who were actually...

Matt Carthy: What proportion did Mr. Gloster say?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: My question was whether it is possible. I take it from Mr. Gloster's answer that yes, it is possible.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Is it happening? That is the next question. Is it happening today at all?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Again, I take it from the answer that it is happening but in a more limited way than previously. Is that fair to say?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: No, that is exactly what I just said.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: Ms McGirr mentioned that the first option in these instances is for rest leave to be provided in lieu. I am not sure of any worker in any scenario who, given a choice of getting six hours pay for 15 minutes, essentially, or an alternative hour off, would not take the former. In this instance, the witnesses indicated that monitoring may be in place now. When a member of staff works these...
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: In terms of the monitoring, Mr. Gloster is right that it may be a small number but the figures are astronomical. How far up the line does the monitoring go? Is the CFO, for example, informed that there could be a potential outlay as a result of a member of staff having worked these hours and provision not being in place to prevent him or her with a rest period in lieu?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Matt Carthy: I always have to try to decipher the answers from the HSE. I take it the answer to the question is that it is not elevated to Mr. Mulvany's office in terms of where these-----
