HSE threatens to slash charity funds by 20%

The HSE has warned it will cut its funding to five charities by 20% if they don’t try and comply with public health sector pay policy by Feb 21.

The HSE was reacting to the fallout from the top-up payments to senior employees in charities.

It said all charities had until the Feb 21 deadline to put forward a business case stating why they think their top executives should be paid more than the public sector threshold, or face the funding cut.
