I also heard today that they've got a hiring freeze in place.
Everyone who works in the health service says the same thing - the layers of useless administration are huge. That is the result of the botched setup of the HSE where they simply put another layer of administration on top of the existing health boards. Everyone was sceptical at the time and I wrote about it in the newsletters a few times. Totally predictable - but it meant more jobs for the boys.
The solution is to get rid of the Health Service Executive entirely, but you can bet this is not even in the farthest recesses of the minds of those directing the cuts.
PS. Mary Harney, health minister, presided over this mess. She should be first on the chopping block.
