Dr. Niamh Humphries:

I do not know that it is the same doctors who are moving. I know how many graduate here and I know how many land in Australia. We are not able to join those dots, which is something that Ireland needs to start doing. We train these doctors who are highly skilled, talented and needed, yet we have only a vague idea of where they go after graduation. We need much more than a vague idea. We need to know how many leave and if they return, when they return, and whether they return to work in the Irish health system - public or private. We need that type of information.
