Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Hospital Doctor Retention and Motivation Project: Discussion

Dr. Niamh Humphries:

That is a very difficult question to answer. We have to look at how we are spending money in the health system. Although we are spending a lot of money on health and recruitment, a lot of that is going to agency and locum staff who are more expensive. It is necessary to look at the inefficiencies in the health system and look at how that money could be used in better ways to better support the doctors to do their jobs.
