Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion

9:00 am

Mr. John Connaghan:

I can give a straight answer albeit perhaps only for the period during which I have been interim director general, that is the last six months. I am not aware at corporate level of anyone being through the disciplinary process for poor performance in that respect. We have people leaving the service through our disciplinary procedures and that is a matter for local managers and staff and I do not consider that I am at liberty to reveal any of that today. I recognise the situation the Deputy paints. As we go forward, we need to build into the HSE something better around personal accountability. If I can take a minute, I will say a little around what the plans for that might be in 2019.
