At a tense Oireachtas Committee hearing, Deputy Albert Dolan pressed HSE CEO Bernard Gloster and CFO Stephen Mulvany on a series of issues: from wasteful spending to weak accountability structures.
The exchange revealed:
The HSE still spends €30 million a year on postage for letters that could be sent by SMS or email.
One-third of senior HSE staff have not filed required ethics declarations.
A €15 million payment was made for goods never received, with those responsible “no longer available” for investigation.
Dolan: “The public will not accept that €15 million was paid and the people who approved it just walked away.”
Gloster: “People failed in their duty, but I can’t investigate those who’ve left the organisation.”
