Madam, - Contrary to all that we hear, the HSE would appear to be awash with money. I attempted to return an almost new set of crutches to the hospital that had issued them, only to be informed that "we don't accept these back as they cannot be re-used. Something to do with insurance."
How many more examples of flagrant waste of taxpayers' money are waiting to be uncovered in this dysfunctional behemoth? - Yours, etc,
BRIAN MORE-O'FERRALL, Foxrock, Dublin 18.
