Episode Details

Beaumont Hospital is facing serious backlash after admitting it spent over six million euros on radiology services from a company with twenty of its own staff on its board — a deal that bypassed public bidding. The hospital’s CEO issued an unreserved apology for “historic control issues,” acknowledging governance failures despite claiming the spending was “good value” for patient care. During a Public Accounts Committee hearing, it emerged that 1.5 million euros of that sum was spent last year alone, and only four of the twenty board members declared conflicts of interest. This incident is part of a larger pattern: over 17 million euros in non-compliant procurement last year. While the hospital insists the services met patient needs, the lack of oversight and transparency has raised major concerns — and a major review is underway to fix the broken system.
