Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Medical Council Specialist Register: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Rosarii Mannion:

Of the 127, 28 are currently employed through agency. On governance issues, they are all set out clearly in this report. I am happy to sit down with the Deputy, go through that and brief her on an individual basis if necessary. In respect of the requirement for a training programme for this cohort that are not on the specialist register, it was covered earlier in the briefing. We are case managing the 127 - who they are, where they are, what mentoring support is available, how we can communicate, how we can assist and how we can work in a collegiate way with other stakeholders such as the Medical Council etc. To the best of my knowledge, a specific training programme is not in existence because of the plethora of grades involved in the specialties. Again, my colleague, Professor Frank Murray, might want to speak to that. I think that covers all the questions.
