HSE To Cut 1,000 Temporary Jobs

The Irish Republic's Health Service Executive (HSE) is due to tell unions today that it is laying off about 1,000 temporary workers.

According to reports, the Executive is making the cuts to allow for the appointment of permanent staff in priority areas.

Under the recruitment embargo, the HSE can only appoint new staff if it keeps overall employment at the same level.

It is understood the staff will be laid off as their temporary contracts expire.
