More than 100 HSE managers with €100,000 salaries

THE revelation that more than 100 senior managers in the Health Service Executive (HSE) are being given €100,000 was castigated by the Labour Party yesterday.

This salary is equivalent to the top-ranking assistant secretary grade in the civil service and the Department of Finance has been made aware of the increase in the number of senior managers within the HSE.

Health spokeswoman for the Labour Party, Deputy Liz Mc Manus, described the increase as another sign that “bureaucratic bloating is increasing” since the HSE took over.
