More HSE brilliance!

Sorry if this has been posted already.


"The Health Service Executive left a 16-year-old boy, who is waiting for psychiatric assessment, in an internet cafe on Tuesday night because it had no suitable accommodation for him.
The incident was revealed by Fine Gael's Alan Shatter during a Dáil debate on the proposed Constitutional Amendment on the rights of children.
Mr Shatter said the boy was no longer in the education system, had fallen into a street life and was becoming drug dependent.

Mr Shatter asked Minister for Children Barry Andrews to find out what was happening to that boy.
He said other gaps in child care services were exposed in today's newspapers.
These include the case of a young Chinese girl who arrived in Ireland this year and disappeared after one day in a B&B. She is feared to have been the victim of human trafficking.
Mr Shatter said there was also a 17-year-old boy, with severe mental health difficulties, who was known to the HSE in two areas, but neither area would take responsibility for him.
He had been psychiatrically assessed but there had been no follow-up.
It was believed he had been sexually abused, but according to Mr Shatter the boy had essentially been 'cut loose' by the HSE.
Mr Shatter said that the two boys could be wandering the streets tonight.
These children did not need a Constitutional Amendment about their rights, they needed someone to resolve the failures in the HSE, he said."

A phrase that keeps coming to mind through all the HSE shennanigans is "Code of ethics"

"Ask us when we come back from holidays!"

Not a good week to be part of the HSE eh, but you know what i'm just going to say that this is not nearly as surprsing as the last couple of incidents involving the HSE and right now I think all Fine Gael and Labour are doing is looking for any piece of information they can find on the HSE and using it to turn public opinion on the government. If Fine Gael or Labour were in charge, what may I ask would be the response to a situation like this? While I do like how these new articles show the current government's lack of abilty in managing the healthcare system I tend to wonder if some of these incidents are just simple mistakes. Still it's a sad story for anyone who is unfortunate to be affected by any of the incidents relating to the HSE but I still think that proper assessments need to be done before just coming to conclusions that the HSE is just an incompetant body, we already know that.

How long are they now off for again 7/14 days?
Do we all get the same time off for the same Saints day?

Sure, it's hard work running a small country into the ground.

Personally I am all in favour of them going off all over the world for Paddy's day but fourteen days is nowhere long enough. Fourteen years might do it. Last Paddy's day I suggested we pull up the drawbridge and not let 'em back. The air fares and expenses would then have been well spent. Let the New Zealanders find something for Big Mary to do -- b****cks up a hospice for wallabies perhaps?

Just be proud of the way your gevernment spends YOUR TAX MONEY.

Now are we seriously expected to believe that this blatant waste of money doesnt extend to other areas of government. This may be stating the obvious but this is just the tip of the iceberg and we need to establish the true extent of the incompetence of our political representatives.

It's disgusting

The problems only start then.

This will force you to go looking for replacements and what happens then?
