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)

Mairead Farrell: To follow on, I have a brief question on that. Mr. Mulvany mentioned there that a self-assessment was done. We understand that from the briefing but then he mentioned a random sample was taken. I assume what Mr. Mulvany means is that it was assessed externally. Is that correct?

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

Mairead Farrell: How much of that random sample complied with the self-assessment? I assume a self-assessment was done initially and then had the random sample?

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

Mairead Farrell: So there was 10% issue.

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

Mairead Farrell: Okay. It is just clearly an issue of concern when it is under 40% of what is actually being assessed and then there is also the amount that is not assessed. I will bring in the next speaker.

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

Mairead Farrell: I understand that and I read that. It is more than a limitation. It is quite concerning when significantly less than half can be looked at. However, I will bring in the next speaker, an Teachta Kelly.

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

Alan Kelly: I thank the Cathaoirleach and wish her the best of luck. She will be a fantastic Chair. I welcome everyone, particularly those who have been appointed in the last period of time. Best of luck to them. We need them all to be successful so I hope that they will be. I welcome those who have been around for a while as well. In fairness to the CEO, one thing about Mr. Gloster is that his...

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

Alan Kelly: I agree.

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

Alan Kelly: Especially Shannondoc at weekends.

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.

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

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...

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

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: Will the CNU be opened at the same time?

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

Alan Kelly: Is that handed back and opened?

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

Alan Kelly: What about the MAUs?

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...

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

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.
