It Is Time To Dissolve Mary Harney's Frankenstein - Health Service Executive (hse)

category national | public consultation / irish social forum | opinion/analysis author Saturday June 05, 2010 06:29author by children_of_lir Report this post to the editors

HSE - Mary Harney's Frankenstein

With the recent news about child deaths while in care or in contact with services now at 188 and this figure is rising, it is time to bring down Mary Harney's Frankenstein, namely HSE. It was Harney who dissolved the ten regional Health Boards and created the disastrous and lethal HSE that came into operation on 1 January 2005.

With the recent news about child deaths while in care or in contact with services now at 188 and this figure is rising, it is time to bring down Mary Harney's Frankenstein, namely HSE. It was Harney who dissolved the ten regional Health Boards and created the disastrous and lethal HSE that came into operation on 1 January 2005.

Below is a link to an article referencing these188 children's deaths whilst in HSE custody:
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/frontpage/2010/0605....html

This shambolic and uncaring monstrosity that is HSE is killing our children.

Wikipedia says it all: "The HSE is frequently portrayed by the Irish media as an inefficient, top-heavy, bloated and excessively bureaucratic organisation defined by cronyism, budget overruns and an excessively "manager-oriented" culture where middle management and consultants' demands are prioritised over adequate service provision. Additionally, the organisation has been involved in a number of serious health scandals, relating to cancer misdiagnoses. The HSE has also been the subject of criticism for cutbacks, service cancellations and overall stinginess." [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_Service_Executive]

HSE's Head Office:

Oak House, Millennium Park, Naas, Co. Kildare
Phone: +353 (0)45 880400
Fax: 1890 200893

Dr. Steevens' Hospital, Dublin 8
Phone: +353 (0)1 635 2000

It is time to dissolve HSE and restore the authority of the ten regional Health Boards. For all their faults, regional Health Boards were more accountable, simply because they were not monolithic and had the other regional Health Boards as independent peers. With the ten regional Health Boards restored, the chances are at least one Board would uphold standards and not tolerate the abuses of another.
