Lack of accountability bedevils our public sector

An editorial in this paper referred to yet another “scandal” in the HSE.

Given the ongoing saga of scandal after scandal emanating from the HSE without any apparent recourse, it seems as if it operates as an independent entity accountable to no one.

In normal circumstances, the people who pay the bills and wages hold sway. The HSE and some other public sector organisations continue to operate as if they are answerable to no one.
