Contracted baby hearing testers wear HSE logos
The screeners who provide the service have written to the Irish Examiner arguing that most parents are not aware that this relatively new service in Irish maternity hospitals is provided by Northgate Public Services, a subsidiary of Northgate Information Solutions UK Ltd, and not by the HSE.
“Screeners in Ireland are obliged to wear a uniform with the HSE logo, although their employer is Northgate. This leads parents to believe that we are HSE employees and as such, that we enjoy the same benefits as HSE employees,” the screeners wrote.
