Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Private Activity in Public Hospitals: Discussion

I will give an example from Cork. Twelve consultants have left CUH to work privately. One of the reasons they chose to walk away from the salaries they were getting, and to go working privately, is that they believed they were unable to do things they were good at. They felt that working privately would give them the freedom to do such things. Twelve very good consultants have left the system in Cork.
