Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Overcrowding Crisis in Hospitals: Discussion

Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

For the record, the October 2021 census versus December 2019 census shows an increase of 0.4% in public health nursing. It shows 16 additional whole-time equivalents. In that two-year period, eight public health nurses were added each year when we are trying to build community services. It is not 4% but 0.4%.
