PAC hears that HSE 'made eejits of' Government by appointing firm to review cost of National Children's Hospital
The Public Accounts Committee meets today Image: Oireachtas.ie The Public Accounts Committee meets today Image: Oireachtas.ie MEMBERS OF THE Dáil’s Public Accounts Committee have criticised the HSE for appointing PwC to review the costs of constructing the National Children’s Hospital.
However, it emerged last night that PwC’s review of costs into spending on the project was carried out by the same personnel from the firm who advised the HSE at the end of last year. “There’s the same personnel involved, given ‘high level’ advice, then asked to critique themselves. That for me just screams conflict of interest.”
