Creighton:HSE chief should step down

With faith in the health service at “dangerously low” levels, the HSE director general, Tony O’Brien, must go, said Renua Ireland leader Lucinda Creighton.

She said he should step down because of “ongoing catalogues of chaos” in hospitals in Portlaoise and Cavan.

“When private companies fail accountability starts at head office rather than the ground floor,” she said.
