HSE chief executive Bernard Gloster is hopeful his final weeks in office will see a significant announcement for his home county of Limerick. “I’m hoping that, in fact, the next milestone of that decision might well even come before I leave office in three weeks’ time. “I understand why that came about but the truth is our level of dependency on private provision is too high. That’s the truth,” said Mr Gloster of how they or their parents could have been helped. The futureAnne O’Connor will take on his role, returning to the HSE after a stint with Vhi.
