- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Alan Kelly: I apologise. I am just conscious of time. Mr. Gloster want to get in.

Alan Kelly: Mr. Gloster will see my questions coming from a mile away because I have asked them twice this week. When will the 96-bed block be opened? Through accident or misspeaking, as he said yesterday, I take Mr. Gloster at his word. I see it. I have been inside in UHL for more than a month. I have actually seen floors go up since I was in there. They are flying it and I accept that. What date...

Alan Kelly: Third, when will the MAUs move to providing a 24-hour service? Staffing is a huge issue but I am a huge supporter of public MAUs being opened across the network to help alleviate any issues. I am stuck for time and I have one more question so please answer my questions.

- 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.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
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...

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...

Catherine Murphy: I welcome all the witnesses. Mr. Gloster, in his opening statement, mentioned the number of staff in August 2024 and said that the "growth is 23.3% since December 2019". Has the WRC change from a 39-hour week to a 37.5-hour week been part of the calibration?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Has Mr. Gloster responded to the INMO with that information?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Catherine Murphy: On the 2,000 posts that were suppressed in advance of the embargo being lifted, Mr. Gloster gave us the figure for August 2024. Will he please give us the figure for December 2023?

Catherine Murphy: Yes

Catherine Murphy: I, too, picked up on the overtime payment and wonder how it happened. During a weekend night call-out in 2023, the employee was paid a rate of six hours' pay per patient for each of the four patients treated in a single period of 60 minutes. That same point was made by Deputy Kelly. It cost in excess of €2,800 for the call, which is an extraordinary amount. I can see the HSE's...
