Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Infection Rate among Healthcare Workers (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Woods:
With regard to full-time vacancies, we intend to offer full-time contracts. There are some contracts that will be for three months because the nurses filling the roles may be students who are recording as healthcare assistants. Retired workers who have returned may have wanted a three-month contract. On the Deputy's core point, we are looking to grow the number of permanent staff and I agree with the Deputy's initial comments.
