Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Hospital Services: Discussion (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Martin Varley:

Yes, but for certain specialties. It would be in the minority of cases because the majority of people are seeking type B contracts. Let us not forget that we are competing with posts being offered to specialists in North America and Australasia. In that context, Dr. Durcan mentioned that she was offered twice the salary she was offered here. The new entrants discrimination has become more severe in recent times. As stated, people are being offered twice the salary abroad.
