Baby’s body stored on ward - Yet another HSE indictment

Earlier this month, it was reported that the number of senior managers in the health service has grown by almost 40% since 2013.

The HSE employs twice as many directors, the top administrative grade, than it did five years ago. During that period, many waiting lists got longer, the trolley crisis continued, and the debilitating restriction on recruiting doctors or nurses was kept in place.

The scandals kept on coming too. Unfortunately for all concerned, especially the family involved, RTÉ yesterday reported on yet another that shows how utterly dysfunctional elements of our health service’s management have become.
