In December 2021, the HSE made a double payment due to operations from two different areas using separate financial systems without cross-checking. The Comptroller and Auditor General noted weaknesses in internal controls, especially regarding goods receipting protocols. To prevent future occurrences, the HSE outlined necessary actions and planned to implement a single integrated financial system. Furthermore, the HSE reported a loss of €4.1m due to missed deadlines for claiming patient charges, which affects financial operations of multiple hospitals.
