Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 December 2018
331. Deputy Louise O'Reilly asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to claims made by interviewees in a report (details supplied) that the HSE compelled organisations to sign service arrangements on the basis of known but formally unrecorded deficits; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50221/18]
View answerSection 39 of the Health Act is the legal framework under which the HSE provides grant funding to agencies. The HSE has a Service Agreement (SA) with such organisations, which sets out the resources being provided, the outputs to be achieved, arrangements for the drawdown of funding, the nature of the review of performance and Assurance and governance requirements.
As this is a service matter, I have asked the HSE to reply directly to the Deputy.
