Dr. John-Paul Byrne:

Added to that is the impact of the working conditions we have discussed. It sounds like a simple point but trainees want to have protected time for being trained and to have access to trainers who are available as much as possible. Essentially, they want to spend their time being a doctor and being trained to be a doctor in their specialty. Many doctors would point to that being a major issue at the moment because of the strain on them and the service delivery pressures. Covid has intensified those pressures.
