Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Workforce Planning in the Health Sector (Resumed): Discussion with Fórsa

Mr. Éamonn Donnelly:

I would say that primary care is not great. When we talk about the nine learning sites, an anecdotal comment often made to us by our health and social care professional members is that those in management will staff up the nine learning sites to adequate levels to make them work, with the inference being they will then leave everything else as it is and the staff will be under the usual pressure. If that is the anecdotal evidence, I would say primary care is probably under some pressure on workforce planning.
