Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I guess what I am trying to get at here is whether it is 12% of the cases or 12% of the procurement-----
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It really is a significant amount. If that maps out to the €4.2 billion, we are talking about close on €500 million that will en up being non-compliant procurement.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: If I map those trends onto the €4.2 billion, we could be talking about a sum of the order of €500 million.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: The number, which is staggering, troubles me. Something that worries me more is that one of the reasons we get back for not having that information, on the one hand, is the manager responsible for the expenditure could not be identified centrally. That would very much worry me. Then the flip side is that the identified managers failed to respond to the exercise. When they were asked about...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: If I can focus the question specifically, if a local or regional manager does not engage with Mr. Mulvany when he asks the question about non-compliant procurement, is there a sanction that follows?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: In the context of those two things - the manager responsible could not be identified which would be on the HSE versus the person did not respond - can Mr. Mulvany provide an indication of where the balance lies?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Not tolerating something and not pursuing it are quite different from having a series of sanctions that apply.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2023: Health Service Executive (24 Oct 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Has that happened in any instances?

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.

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-----

Matt Carthy: -----a considerable outlay happening in real time, Mr. Mulvany is not informed until after the fact. Is that fair to say?

Matt Carthy: I am conscious of time. I want to touch on what might be a fringe issue. It was reported during the summer that the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, made a finding in favour of an administrative worker in the HSE being allocated the pandemic bonus payment during the summer. Are any of the witnesses aware of that?
