The HSE is to spend €82m on a new centralised procurement system to comprehensively measure expenses non-compliant with public spending rules.

The executive had informed a previous Dáil public accounts committee (PAC) that it was not in a position to estimate how much of its spending was in violation of procurement law due to its reliance on “multiple legacy systems”.
