Pure madness: The HSE hired three times as many clerical staff as nurses since 2014




There really is no wonder we’ve seen over 700 people languishing on trolleys around the country over the last couple of months.

It beggars belief – but it’s true, the HSE hired more than 2,600 clerical and manager staff since 2014 while less than 900 nurse were hired in the same time period.

Now perhaps Simon Harris thinks pen-pushers know how to take blood pressure but the rest of us know different.

There’s been absolute uproar since the figures were released with nursing unions calling for a full investigation into the matter with many calling on the Minister for Health to take his eyes off abortion on demand and face the trolley crisis.

The 31-yr-old Fine Gael TD has been noticably quiet about the out-of-control trolley crisis presumably hoping it will get brushed under the carpet.

With over 6,000 people working for the HSE allegedly not even knowing what their correct job title is – it’s high time the HSE was run like a proper business.
