The Public Accounts Committee has heard 85 consultants have been formally written to because they have been exceeding the required 70:30 ratio of private to public patients. The PAC met HSE chief executive Prof Brendan Drumm, the Department of Health secretary general Michael Scanlon and their officials yesterday to discuss the contracts, which set strict limits on the numbers of private patients being treated by consultants in public hospitals. Prof Drumm said a lot more consultants would be contacted about the breach.Drumm: Contracts but then saw Ms Dooley and her friends walking up the road. He threw the egg at them instead, hit- ting Ms Dooley in her left eye. She was in very severe pain and was brought to a nearby house where her husband met her and brought her to the Eye And Ear Hospital. The medical report stated she had an extremely large wound and the lens of the eye had almost disappeared. She lost all sight in that eye and had to get a pros- thetic cover fitted. She was also told there was a chance the eye may have to be removed totally in the future. She incurred medi- cal expenses of nearly 12,000 and claimed she had lost earnings of 1.5million. The figure is based on the annual wage of a nurse up to retirement age. Ms Dooleys victim impact report stat- ed: Not a minute goes by where the at- tack does not affect my life. She said she suffers from regular headaches and is self-conscious about her appearance. She rejected Morgans offer of 10,000 as an insult which belittled her injury. Morgan said he was shocked when he realised he had thrown the egg at a grown woman and not another youth. Nurse loses her sight in egg prankA NURSE lost the sight in her eye after an egg was thrown at her by a teenager in a passing car, Dublin Circuit Criminal Court has heard. David Morgan, 18, was out egging with his friends when he hit the woman as she was out for a walk on the Bray Road on March 26, 2008. Morgan, of The Green, Woodbrook Glen, Bray, has pleaded guilty to assault causing harm to Ann Dooley. The victim had previously rejected an offer of 10,000 compensation. Judge Katherine Delahunt adjourned the case until next month to find out if she will accept the money going to charity in- stead. Morgan took the stand to read out an apology to the victim, saying he would have done anything for this not to have happened. Detective Garda David Jones said that Morgan had never been in trouble with Garda before and was genuinely remorseful. Judge Dela- hunt heard that Ms Dooley did not wish to see him going to jail. The court heard that Morgan had met up with his friends to go a party and egg the people there. They stopped in a shop on the way and bought 30 eggs. Morgan saw a group of young people and was going to throw an egg at them by Conor gallagher Foie gras liver and let die ban ROGER MOORE has funded an ad against foie gras, a delicacy made of goose-liver the actor calls tasteless. The poster has been placed directly outside Selfridges famous Food Hall in London and shows the former James Bond (pictured) with the slogan: Force- Feeding Birds Is Cruel, Not Yule. As foie gras production is too violent to show on an ad, surely this torture in a tin is too violently produced for Selfridges to sell, he said.
