FOI shows sharp rise in HSA board meetings and pay
The Health Services Authority board met 190 times in the space of 18 months and was paid almost half-a-million dollars during that time, according to information obtained by the Compass.
The lay board, which has a remit for oversight but not direct management of the authority, has been accused by critics of holding an excessive number of meetings and straying into operational matters.
Data released to this newspaper under the Freedom of Information Act shows the board held 126 meetings in 2024 and a further 64 meetings through the end of June this year. In that same 18-month span, members received a total of $490,850 in compensation, based on a pay-per-meeting schedule.
