HSE disciplinary procedures are described as unsustainable, open to legal challenge and capable of taking years to conclude. Calls for new laws aim to accelerate staff dismissal processes and strengthen accountability for public servants. The HSE chief executive will step down in March after three years as CEO. The existing framework for addressing misconduct is portrayed as inadequate for timely resolution and enforcement. Proposed reforms seek to reduce legal vulnerabilities and shorten timelines for disciplinary action to ensure effective oversight and maintain public confidence in public service employment standards.
