Seven dismissed and 60 disciplined in HSE probes

Seven people have been dismissed and more than 60 disciplinary investigations initiated against HSE staff since 2015, according to figures obtained under Freedom of Information legislation.

The Medical Independent, which put in the request, said 62 cases reached Stage-4, which equates to “dismissal or action short of dismissal”, between 2015 and 2017.

In 2015, 31 disciplinary investigations were begun, with 18 last year. This year, 13 Stage 4 investigations have been launched.
