Myth 3 : Quality Public Services - MYTH 3 - THERE’S TOO MUCH BUREAUCRACY
and official statement from HSEThere’s a myth gaining ground that new investment has been swallowed up by a growing and stagnant
bureaucracy, especially in health. In truth, the vast majority of new investment is going into direct
services to patients.
The Government’s 2003 Brennan Report on health service management found that less than 6% of health service staff work in backroom administrative or management roles. Most health staff defined as
‘administrative’ work on direct patient services or directly assist doctors, nurses and other health
professionals. Brennan also said: “10 out of every 11 additional employees recruited since 1997 are
engaged in duties of direct service to patients and the public.”
[COLOR="Red"]More recently, HSE chief executive Brendan Drumm said ‘back-of-house’ admin staff today account for just 3,300 (just over 3%)[/COLOR] of health service staff. And the small number of staff in ‘back-of-house’ jobs are delivering vital functions like finance, HR, IT, training, service management, legal services, supplies, information and management support. If they weren’t there, doctors, nurses and other front-line staff would have to do administrative tasks instead of treating patients. Services would grind to a halt.

Maybe if the HSE start charging market rate for hospital beds to private patients we could get Revenue up to €55 billion
Apologies they are already trying that.........
What crap.
You do realise that private insurance provides an important revenue stream for hospitals ?
You do realsie that if they didnt have private health insurance the hospitsl woudl still have to treat them but for free ?
You do realise that people with private health insurance pay the same PRSI and taxes (probably more) as public patients and are entitled to the exact same level of cover ?
Last time I was in Hospital (many moons ago) I was admitted through A&E. I had private insurance and went private to the consultant.
I was in a 4 bed room. I was charged a daily rate for the room, charged for x-rays, ct scan and consultant.
The guy in the bed beside me had the same consultant, had the same x-ray and CT scan. He was a public patient and got it all for free.
Exact same service, exact same food, exact same room.
He paid his taxes and was entitled to his health-care. But so did I.
More than one opinion against the PS is regarded as a conspiracy.. 3+ amounts to a “campaign of vilification"
Just a question. How many people do you think will die in fires during the strikes and how many people will die due to the hatchet job that has been done on the health service?

These bully boys getting no support on Pat Kenny today.
Pat Kenny attacking low paid PS workers! Whatever next, Pope approves of Mass?
From the texts he read out. Are you suggesting he picks the texts to suit his own bias? How would all the public sector workers working with him in RTE feel about that? Do you think they would allow it?
Just saw your post now. That is why I had the- i was being sarcastic.
Absolutely.
Pat is self employed.
