HSE chief executive Bernard Gloster and Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill say voluntary hospitals should use the integrated financial management system used by HSE institutions. At the PAC hearing on October 16th Fine Gael TD Joe Neville questioned why the system had not been installed in the voluntary hospitals. The absence of a modern centralised financial information system has been a key issue for health service management for many years. The HSE maintained its service-level agreement would provide a framework for the introduction of the new ICT system into the voluntary hospitals. Three days later on October 20th, Chambers sent a letter to MacNeill which was copied to voluntary hospitals.
