How hard is it to say the problem is with the wages of the fat cats at the top. Their wages have to come down.
I am sick and tired of front line staff being eaten alive by the media to try and protect their incomes when it is the fat cats at the top who hide in their ivory towers, taking all the glory when things go right but none of the pain when things go wrong.
Private sector and public sector front line staff have taken the brunt of peoples anger while bosses retire with golden handshakes and ordinary people told to get a life. Shame on government, the opposition for allowing a few top civil servants destroy the country to protect their own wages and pension pots.
It is time for front line public servants (nurses, guards etc.) and front line private staff (bank tellers, call centre staff etc.) to unite and in a non violent protest tell government and the elite it is time for a fair distribution of wealth and a fair distribution of the pain. Pain so far only felt by the PAYE employees of both public and private sectors.

The HSE is the largest employer in the state at something like 65000 people directly , I don’t know how many are administration but why do they need to always take on more external advisors at huge costs when they want to do anything meaningful , why can the existing management not be charged to make the changes and recommendations themselves m is that not we pay the administration management to do ?

No One from the civil service or the hse multi layers of management was competent enough to undertake this task? Interesting….

Isn’t there a review of something every week millions spent on them and nothing achieved
a medical GP who took the oath to perfect and maintain life guess that means nothing anymore
Hang your head in shame Dr.

More tax payers money wasted..
FFS when will this waste end ?
There has been hundreds of millions wasted since this crowd took over..
NAMA paying €500,000 per month on valuations costing millions every year.
Again money for the boys.
SIPTU 5 million belonging to HSE not accounted for and nobody brought to task.
TDs getting paid an allowance just to show up for work.
A TD defrauds the revenue and not only holds his position in the government but now he is claiming leaders allowance of €41,000 TAX FREE.
30 million spent on recommending the Matter as the site for the new children’s hospital.Land locked,traffic congested site with no room for future expansion.
Dogs on the street come to mind .
And if you think the HSE is in trouble now just wait for the fall out from the property tax because these are the same people that also pay health insurance which will be canceled to pay this tax putting further pressures on the HSE funds.
I could go on..
We are heading over a cliff with these idiots running the country..

political leeches thats all we have in this country soon as they get into power, greedier they get. Time the people took a stand and send some of these obese salaried and expenses money pigs to a slaughter house!

So he pays a couple of experts. Said experts paid a packet, find very little. Anything that is found no matter how much it will improve the service, will be ignored. Why? Because we have incompetent fools there or we can’t afford to act on the advice of the experts because our bondholders need paying

Thought they had no money.

Imagine what good that money would do for a school but instead it goes into the pocket of those shower of….

shameful stuff this

Tell you what guys I’m a frontline line worker I will take leave and do the review for them starting at the top down I can earn my years wages in a couple of weeks way to go me

more old bollocks, if he cant do the job without someone holding his hand get rid of him

Reilly really knows how to grab a shotgun and aim it at his foot, plonker

The figure may look shocking at first, but this works out at about €75 an hour + expenses. The consultants are probably the top of their game, but probably earning about €60k each unless one of them is the owner.

The problem is how this assessment cannot be done in-house, as there are people employed within this, and other, departments of government that are higher paid, and can should have the competence to perform this assessment of systems, but there professional assessment is always – hire someone else.

Were flexibility and willingness to perform other duties part of this public sector agreement? I guess not.

There’s clearly been an endemic culture of waste in government for at least the last two decades? Why, oh why, oh why can’t they eliminate it overnight?

More reviews wasting Tax payers money. That amount would nearly pay the salary of 3 frontline staff for a year

its official. They just don’t give a shit and are throwing money at their buddy advisers. Another day of absolute and disgusting waste of funding channelled under the label of a report to wealthy undeserving blood suckers.

simple solution let Reilly resign!

Public sector work practice changes, will always be drawn out as opposed to private sector reforms, as the latter
would simply go under… if working practices could not adapt swiftly,just look at Brendan Holwins promise this
morning to change “leaders allowances” to a vouched system..in his words “in the lifetime of this government”why
not next week?next month?..
The public sector gravy train is a slow old beast,with many carriages to pull..the minute it meets a hill it grinds to a halt…

Taking the piss or what…

same old, same old

Wat a joke

boloxes is it

These reports usually provide excellent advice but it’s the failure of implementation that is the problem.

There is no political will and vested interests block every attempt at change. Every interest group is outside the Dail when any suggestion of change is mentioned.

The sad reality is that it is we are completely divided as a nation – we have adopted a every man for himself outlook and politicians respond accordingly to our demands.

We need to unite as a country under new radical leadership, where it comes from is hard to know.

You expect him to do every task in the department single handedly? Great, so all the civil servants can be sacked.

Too much money, it takes me a year to earn what one person is going to earn in six weeks. I have no permanent contract, no increments, have to travel 40miles round trip through the bl**dy toll bridge and stuck at 19 hours per week cause we’ve been cut back so much. I am a nurse actually delivering care and having to solve problems everyday in order to try and save the country money. I am totally sick of having my life and occupation diminished by people earning way more than me. Conducting yet another review, writing a report and then have the government say that they do not have to actually follow the recommendations (as has happened so many times before) will probably make me physically sick.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Jesus the HSE can’t win with you lot, they do nothing and you bitch and when they get somebody in with experience to do a review you still bitch.

Reviews are time consuming and they are not free especially if they require a third party to be brought in…and this is often what it takes to see problems.

gggg

Pertect life I meant
