Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening

Ms Susan Clyne:

We put in a submission and there was no response. Anyone can see on social media that non-consultant hospital doctors, NCHDs, the hospital doctors I am talking about, are working over 24 hours on a shift, which is illegal and in complete breach of their contracts. They are burned out. They have been scrabbling around for jobs at the changeover, moving locations and going to different parts of the country to try to source jobs. Many are working below their training grades.
