A National Audit Office report suggests the Central Procurement and Supplies Unit is failing to keep a handle on money owed to it for medicines and medical supplies by entities falling outside of the Health Ministry – including over €16 million owed by Steward Healthcare as of last December.
The matter was flagged by the National Audit Office in a report published this week, which followed up on a number of audits it had carried in previous years. One of the entities covered is the CPSU, which handles the procurement of medicines and medical supplies within the Health Ministry.
