- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: I agree. There will be public doctors and public nurses eventually. I know a private company has been brought in at the moment. The ambition is, in the near future, to be staffed fully by the HSE.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: Yes.

Alan Kelly: I ask that because, as Mr. Gloster will know, it is contract staff rather than full-time staff. An issue jumped out at me from the report. How can one consultant be paid 24 hours pay for one hour's work? I know from looking at Mr. Gloster that he is as shocked as I am about this. A consultant was paid 24 hours pay and is paid nearly €1 million a year. The example being given is...

Alan Kelly: Where is it? What is the name of the division? I do not want to know the person's name.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: I appreciate that.

Alan Kelly: Do many other consultants have the same contract?

Alan Kelly: Jesus. I thank Mr. Gloster.

Mairead Farrell: Go raibh maith agat, an Teachta Kelly. We have heard two personal experiences today and they have been very powerful. We wish the Deputy's father a very speedy recovery. It is very difficult for people watching and listening to hear that, despite their own personal experiences and difficulties within the healthcare system and accessing healthcare, that one consultant would be paid such an...

Mairead Farrell: Go raibh maith agat. I am conscious of time. I will allow everyone come back in for five minutes. I will take an Teachta Carthy. Then we will take our break and take a second round.

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...

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-----
