Irish Examiner view: Need for greater responsibility

HSE spending

Anne Rabbitte, Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.

Disabilities Minister Anne Rabbitte outlined her frustrations yesterday with the HSE, with bureaucracy the root cause.

If there is one institution in Irish life synonymous with bureaucracy it is the HSE, and Ms Rabbitte’s particular issue is that a portion of €22m allocated for disability capital projects won’t be spent this year.
