Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health

I understand that funding referred to was drawn from the Order of St. John of Gods own funding and was not drawn from public funds provided through the HSE. As such, I have no role in the matter.

Separately, the HSE has arranged for external reviews to take place which involves an examination by external consultants of the governance at Board and Executive level in the Section 38 service providers so as to establish the level and standard of governance in place in these organisations and to independently confirm that the governance practices and procedures accord with those set out in their respective Annual Compliance Statements.
