Drumm may have a nightmare job but a €70,000 bonus is just not on

HOW much money would you pay to the boss of an effective and efficient health service?

Drumm may have a nightmare job but a €70,000 bonus is just not on

By “effective and efficient” I mean a service that offers early treatment, keeping people out of hospitals where possible, a hospital service for those who require it that delivers quickly and in relative comfort, and then a recuperation system that gets people out of hospitals quickly, provides an opportunity for quick recovery or, where that’s not possible, provides best care for the afflicted. And which does so for a reasonable sum of money.

Utopian perhaps, although apparently largely achieved in other countries but most definitely not in Ireland. So back to the question: how much money would you pay the person who designs the system and makes sure it’s implemented?
