PAC expected to order overhaul of HSE procurement process

The Dáil's spending watchdog is expected to order an immediate overhaul of how goods and services are procured by the HSE after an "alarming" level of noncompliance was uncovered.

Around €506m was spent by the HSE in 2018 on goods and services which were non-compliant with procurement rules. This represented almost one quarter of the HSE’s total procurement in 2018.
