Payments have been suspended to the company pending the outcome of an investigation following the allegations made in an RTE Prime Time documentary on Thursday night.

Two staff members at St Vincent's Hospital have been put off duty, while the Beacon Hospital has put one person on leave, following the allegations.

Representatives from the HSE have also been invited to respond to the claims.

Fine Gael TD and Chairman of the Oireachtas Health Committe, Jerry Buttimer, says that seven other hospitals will also be up for discussion at the meeting on Thursday.
