HSE pauses applications for all management and administrative roles

HSE CEO Bernard Gloster said they have already exceeded recruitment figures.

The HSE has paused all applications for new and replacement posts for all management and administrative roles, starting from Wednesday, as concern grows about health spending.

A memo sent by HSE CEO Bernard Gloster to division heads and managers across the HSE including the ambulance and nursing services, and seen by the Irish Examiner, says this is because they have already exceeded recruitment figures for this sector.
