Impact of Covid-19 on Neurological Services, Care and Capacity: Neurological Alliance of Ireland
Professor Orla Hardiman:
Yes, an analysis has been undertaken under the national manpower programme and we were involved in contributing to that. There are neurologists in training. We would argue that there should be more. There is attrition across trainees in neurology. We lose some people; they move overseas. Unfortunately, the Irish health sector at the moment may not be the most attractive to young doctors who are in training and being able to attract people back can be challenging.
