Anger at €250k spend on HSE staff magazine

The HSE has come under fire over the €251,000 it spent over the past two years to produce an internal magazine for staff.

Independent councillor Ann Norton, a disability rights campaigner and mother of a special needs teenager, described as “crazy money” the amount the HSE spent on Health Matters in 2015 and 2016.

Ms Norton, a member of the HSE West Health Forum and Clare County Council, described the annual spend as “a complete and utter waste of taxpayers’ money”.
