Episode Details

Beaumont Hospital’s radiology contract, quietly renewed since 2019 without public tender, has sparked outrage after revealing six million euros paid to a private firm located right on campus — with 20 hospital staff serving as directors, only four of whom disclosed it. Compounding the scandal, a payroll system overran its budget by two million euros and also bypassed procurement. The CEO admitted mistakes, apologized for control failures, and included both the 2019 and 2024 contract exceptions — though she dodged direct admission of wrongdoing. The hospital insists it’s now focused on compliance and fixing conflicts of interest, while also acknowledging the IT project’s procurement shortcut as part of its reckoning.
