FG: Payroll error further sign of Govt incompetence
21/07/2005 - 11:20:26Fine Gael has said the computer system that allowed a health worker to be mistakenly paid €1m is further evidence of the incompetence of the Government.
The computer system was installed by the Department of Health at a cost of €120m to the taxpayer.
It emerged yesterday that one worker was paid €1m through the system and the error was only brought to the light because of the honesty of the employee in question.
Fine Gael TD Richard Bruton said it showed how money was being wasted while vital services continued to suffer.
"It's a classic example of how, in the Department of Health, money isn't getting through to the frontline doctors and nurses to deliver services," he said.
"Money has got bogged down in projects that are poorly-designed and poorly-executed."
