Reilly to spend €569k on managers

Health Minister Dr James Reilly is to spend another €569,000 on management consultants.

The move follows a spending of €1.2m on outside experts as part of his drive to reduce waiting lists, and combat the problem of having patients on hospital trolleys.

PA Consulting and the Centre for Diagnostic Management will work with the special delivery unit he created last year to prioritise improved access to hospital care.
