Ex-HSE chief’s name on tax forms 6 years after he left

More than six years after he left the Health Service Executive (HSE), it’s now deceased former chief Kevin Kelly continued to be named in tax-related documents as the HSE employee making payments to family doctors for treating medical card patients.

Despite leaving the HSE in 2005, Mr Kelly was until at least mid-December still being named as the HSE’s interim chief executive on forms issued by the Revenue Commissioners.

The document in which Mr Kelly features is an F45 form which outlines payments by the HSE to individuals contracted to it to provide professional services, including GPs for services under a variety of primary care reimbursement schemes.
