HSE members threaten to quit over ‘spin’ by officials

A MEMBER of the Health Services Executive (South) walked out of a meeting yesterday in protest and a number of others threatened to resign after claiming officials weren’t giving them proper answers to their questions and were not allowing time for debate.

A meeting of party whips is to be held on February 8, just hours prior to the next HSE meeting, at which it is expected they will draft a motion calling for more openness.

Cllr Toireasa Ferris (SF) said the way the meetings were structured was totally inadequate and they represented a high cost to the taxpayer and little or no return for her constituents.
