Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Workforce Planning in the Health Sector: Discussion

Mr. Martin Varley:

We will do it through our Twitter campaign. I did an interview with Galway Bay FM yesterday. We need to engage with Deputies in their own areas, as is happening in Limerick. We have to be objective about the problems and make them known. We will appeal to Deputies to engage with the Ministers responsible in order that we do not see a repeat of an earlier discussion, where we asked why we were not having engagement on an issue that is win-win. My concern is that we are getting disengagement by official Ireland on one of the most important services that the population needs. Disengagement means that if a Minister does not meet one for seven months, despite repeated promises, then one has to call it out. We have a job to do and all of our members are frustrated.
