Robert Watt, the Secretary General of the Department of Health, has rejected 'most' of the findings in the report into the botched secondment of Dr Tony Holohan

ROBERT WATT, THE Secretary General of the Department of Health, has rejected “most” of the findings in the report into the botched secondment of Dr Tony Holohan.

Watt’s rejection of the report’s findings is in contrast to the Government, who accepted the conclusions of the report when it was published earlier this week. The report also details how there was an “absence of any consultation with the Health Research Board over the research funding element of the move.

McGuinness added that Watt set a bad example for other Secretaries General and young civil servants, with Watt refusing to comment on what he said were procedural matters. In a statement, a spokesperson for Donnelly confirmed that there was a “cybersecurity risk” for the Minister and his officials.
