Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Workforce Planning in the Health Sector: Discussion
I am not asking any specific question. I am simply referring to a situation where two people dropped out of obstetrics and gynaecology. One of them had nine years training and the other six. They dropped out because of the stress levels and also because of the amount of litigation. What has been done in other jurisdictions that we could do here in order to give more reassurance to the people working here that they have the support of the system? One of the problems here is that people are dropping out of the system and leaving Ireland because they feel they do not have sufficient support. What could we do here to give more support to the people on the front line that has been done in other jurisdictions?
