The Central Remedial Clinic was far more concerned with saving face than it was with saving money.

Central Remedial Clinic officials will not be allowed to “walk off into the sunset” and will be forced to face the consequences of the top-ups scandal engulfing the group.

All parents of children who use the services of the Central Remedial Clinic want the board to resign, it has been claimed.

The CRC lied to the HSE by claiming its chief executive’s salary was in compliance with pay scales in July when in reality it included €40,000-worth of charity-funded top-ups.

It has been claimed that there are more charities using fundraising money to top up the salaries of senior staff.
