€180,000 each day for ‘doing nothing’
Jul 14th
UP to 1,000 surplus HSE staff are still being paid €180,000 a day although they have no work to do.
The staff are costing an estimated €67m a year in salaries at a time when resources are so stretched that crucial health services are being slashed.
Among the HSE staff targeted were around 200 of its middle managers who earn salaries of up to €83,000. Their numbers have increased from just 10 in 2000 to more than 700 now.
The €67m-a-year cost contrasts sharply with the impact of swingeing cuts at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, Dublin.
HSE chief says Crumlin budget has not been cut
Jul 7th
The chief executive of the HSE has told an Oireachtas committee that Crumlin Children’s Hospital is in difficulty because it has failed to make non-frontline savings.
Professor Brendan Drumm says the hospital has not had its budget cut by €9m and its funding has actually increased by 37% in the last three years.
