Children in care - Yet another symptom of huge failure

IT is unfortunate that the Health Service Executive is the focus of a damning report again this morning but the failures uncovered are so great that it cannot be ignored.

The organisation has been continually criticised – justifiably so in too many instances – and this cannot be good for the organisation’s 110,000 employees or how it is perceived.

The vast majority of health workers are committed to providing the best possible care for patients and must be as frustrated as everyone else at the publication of another indictment identifying unacceptable failures.
