HSE boss denies Grace carer unfairly treated

HSE director general Tony O’Brien has denied that the caregiver of ‘Grace’ was unfairly or disproportionately treated, despite underfunding her care to the tune of €600,000.

An internal audit report, completed by consultants Deloitte into the funding issues, confirms there was a dispute over the level of funding to care for Grace since 2009 after she was removed from the foster home at the heart of the ongoing sex abuse scandal.

The report has been obtained by the Irish Examiner.
