HSE CEO Bernard Gloster says disciplinary procedures for public servants are too slow, legally fragile and can last years, calling for a single statutory accountability system across the public sector. He revealed 38 HSE staff were dismissed since 2020, with 17 cases overturned on appeal due to flawed processes. Gloster argues reforms are needed to ensure fair, timely accountability, particularly in cases of serious failure of duty. The overturn rate is frightening especially considering they could be front line staff

Arrogant, untouchable, incompetent and contempt shown towards the public and the law. They should be easily fired for wrongdoing

I hope this inspires a potential conversation about a comprehensive review into current practices followed by a full report circulated as framework to inform a roundtable discussion that can generate a detailed set of proposals for review.

He is absolutely right, but he has no chance of implementing it while the unions have so much power.

I previously worked in the public sector and have many family members working in it, particularly the HSE. In my own experience I had some great colleagues and some not so great ones as you would get in any workplace, public or private. But then there were some that were lazy and/or incompetent to a level that would be sackable in the private sector and they were never pulled up on it. They just got moved between departments because management didn’t want to actually deal with it.
But that is nothing in comparison to what I’ve heard about the HSE from my family. Everything from barely functional alcoholics often under the influence at work while caring for patients, to blatant racism between colleagues, right the way up to management corruption regarding agency staff. Not a single one of these people have been held accountable in any way for the things they do and I can imagine this is just the tip of the iceberg if I’m hearing these first hand from other people.
