Mr. Éamonn Donnelly:

I would not say there is any great CHO that has a great model. Let us look at the way recruitment is done for an organisation the size of the HSE. There is a recruitment hub in Manorhamilton that was part of decentralisation, which does great and fantastic work, but it only has the capacity to handle what needs to be done. One cannot decide to strip Manorhamilton of that function because a different societal problem would be created, therefore, the hub needs to be there. Our view is that CHO recruitment should migrate into the CHO regions. That would leave the Manorhamilton facility to be a real recruitment hub for the non-CHO elements and each CHO would have an agile recruitment system that is capable of recruiting people more quickly and they would be more fit for purpose in each area.
