Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Meeting on Health Issues

Mr. Paul Reid:

We want to reduce our agency spend. All budget holders have a target this year and next year to reduce it. Some areas have been quite innovative in converting to full-time equivalent staff. To provide some context, 94.6% of our budgetary spend on labour is direct labour, so 5.4% is agency spend. The predominance of that is in medical and healthcare assistance.
