HSE accused of paying €2m to shelf company

THE Health Services Executive has been accused of paying almost €2 million to a “shelf company” for work related to the controversial PPARS computer system.

Last night, Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny claimed a shelf company in the Channel Islands was paid almost €2m to provide seven staff to the PPARS payroll system.

The health services paid almost €7 million in total to recruitment and employment agencies for the services of just 28 specialists for the controversial PPARS payroll system.
