Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Workforce Planning in the Irish Health Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Matthew Sadlier:
Medical jobs in Ireland usually run from July to July. Immediately after that cut was reversed, I guarantee that only about 40% of interns would leave instead of the current 70%. The 40% who leave, however, would also return to Ireland the year after. Some 70% of newly-qualified doctors leave at the moment and perhaps only some 20% come back.
