HSE: Litany of overpayments, expenses, debts

A damning report on HSE services reveals a litany of criticisms, overpayments in regions, luxury hotel expense claims and huge amounts in uncollected debts.

The draft HSE response to the Comptroller and Auditor General audit includes criticisms about medical card assessments, concerns about storing stock and delays in handling payments.

The 42-page 2013 audit, obtained by the Irish Examiner, was accidentally leaked to Oireachtas members yesterday, the HSE said.
