Dr. Gabrielle Colleran:

We have seen a large increase in the number of managers. We need to see an increase in the numbers of front-line staff treating patients. We have the lowest number of consultants in Europe and 20% of posts are empty, while we also have the longest waiting lists. The two are connected. I call on the Government to staff our teams to let us do our jobs. We want to deliver a real good news story in the health service in collaboration with the committee because we are all on team health.
