MONSTER SALARIES FOR HSE MANAGERS WHILE SICK PEOPLE LANGUISH ON EVER LENGTHENING WAITING LISTS

Aontú leader, Peadar Toibin has today called for an urgent restructuring of the HSE, saying that investment in patient care and clinical excellence is being sacrificed at the altar of ‘monster salaries’ for managers.

Newly released figures in response to a parliamentary question by the Meath West TD reveal that 341 management staff at the organisation are earning between €100,000 and €200,000, sums that he described as ‘shocking’.

 Deputy Toibin says.

“The HSE is top heavy with people who are not the fore of actually caring for patients. The people being paid these huge salaries are not engaged in looking after patients on a day-to-day level, they are not frontline workers, they are management and quite frankly with waiting lists as they are, their management skills are open to question”.

“At a time when elderly patients are waiting on trolleys, Accident and Emergency departments up and down the country are in crisis and our dedicated front-line staff are burnt out, these figures will leave a sour taste in many mouths”.

“It will also shock many people to learn that the top paid official in the HSE is earning more than €300,000 when the health service seems to be buckling under pressure”.  

“We need to restructure the HSE as a matter of extreme urgency and invest in our healthcare heroes who are on the ground and not in managers”.

ENDS

The Irish political system is radically broken



In Ireland the vast majority of elected representatives put a finger in the air to check which way the political wind is blowing. They have one eye on their leaders – seeking brownie points – and another eye keeping their seat safe. If elected reps shut up and do as they’re told, they are promoted; if they stand up for what they believe in, they are demoted. No wonder we have the political class we have. No wonder one point one billion euro is being buried in a hole under the National Children’s Hospital and that Stormont is in stalemate.



Throughout Ireland, many people are now afraid to say what they feel, many are afraid to respectfully engage on a range of different topics. Many feel there is a new censorship and a new political correctness in Ireland, that opposition to the establishment is being deleted.



Respectful opposition is not the enemy. Respectful opposition is a critical element of a functional democracy. Aontú will have the backbone to stand up, without fear, for you.
