Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care
Mental Health Services: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Peter Hughes:
Yes, but the €1,500 package only attracted six people. My understanding is that nine applied but only six took up positions. We need to consider the provision of subsidised accommodation and educational opportunities and show that there is a career pathway as a clinical nurse specialist, an advanced nurse practitioner and so on. A combination of many elements is needed, for example, a relocation package, plus salary and subsidised accommodation.
