HSE spends €500k in mid-west on wheelchairs
The authority’s spending on wheelchairs for people in Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary increased from €491,231 in 2010 to €511,260 last year. This was in sharp contrast to the expenditure in Roscommon, Galway and Mayo where €113,971 was spent in 2010 and €108,932 in 2011.
The HSE has been requested to review its expenditure of aids and appliances in the mid-west after Cllr Brian Meaney expressed concern about the spending of over €500,000 on wheelchairs in the region.
