Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Impact of High Levels of Covid-19 on the Health System: Discussion

Mr. Liam Woods:

I thank the Deputy, agree with him and share his concern that we must understand the reasons people would leave the health environment. I acknowledge that nurses, like all front-line staff, are working under enormous pressure at the moment and have been since 29 February last year in response to this pandemic. I will dialogue with our colleagues in HR to see what is available. I did not want to mislead in my reply, but there may be some information available which we can provide on that matter. That information would certainly exist at a local hospital group and local hospital level.
