Dr. Matthew Sadlier:

Not only do we have that with consultants and nurses, we also have it in the junior doctor population, members of which are often sent on a rotation to a different part of the country away from their partners. They must arrange childcare within very short periods of time because they are moving around the country on six-month rotations as part of training schemes. This was identified in the MacCraith report as something needs to be looked at if we are to retain junior doctors and trainees in the country.
