On the recruitment of nurses, the annual report gives an extraordinary figure on page 13 for the ratio of nursing jobs in Ireland to the number of nurses looking for them, which is four to one. Are there four jobs for every nurse or am I reading that backwards? The report says it is particularly difficult to fill specialist nursing roles.
