Dr. Ciaran Browne:

In the longer term, we want the hospital trusts not only to create opportunities for better patient care, but to allow us to hire doctors to a hospital group and then structure the rotation of those doctors in a much more systematic way than has been the case to date, where individual hospitals compete in recruitment for services they are providing. In hospital groups, hospitals can recruit through the hospital group and then rotate the doctors, which will help Letterkenny because it will form part of a group, and Drogheda, where recruitment is a larger process.
