Drumm defends healthcare staff after criticism from Ombudsman
The Health Service Executive (HSE) chief executive described recent comments by Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly – who suggested on Thursday that there was something “rotten” within the excessively “secretive” organisation – as “unfortunate”.
Prof Drumm admitted there was difficulty releasing records on patients’ cases, as claimed by Ms O’Reilly, but said the HSE was striving to be more open.
