Ms Janet O'Farrell:

We asked questions about bullying in Your Training Counts. That survey is carried out across the board in respect of trainees - those on training schemes at the postgraduate level. It is a slightly different group.

When we look at that group, four or five of them are Irish graduates. It is primarily an Irish graduate group. It is difficult to dig down into it because they are over-represented within that group, as compared to the picture across the full register, which is different.

We had one person and one situation where information was given to us about an instance of bullying that drove the person to leave the workplace and where this was the primary reason for leaving. That was an international graduate. At trainee level we are not necessarily seeing those differences but the number of international medical graduates within that survey is very small.
