The reason for the question was that I came across Ms O'Mahony and she has advertised posts in the past. I will not say she found people easily but a lot more easily than the HSE seems to be able to source staff. The HSE needs to see that and hear it. Turnaround times for us to employ therapists in community healthcare organisation, CHO, 4 are not working. It is like the situation described in Longford, there are posts ebbing away and falling away and not being replaced. The HSE needs to hear that people are willing to go working for organisations such as the Rainbow Club and in the settings that they have. This may be a question that only the HSE can answer. Maybe it needs to look at itself and see if it can learn from this. How can the HSE, as an employer, create an environment where people actually want to come to work for it like they do for these organisations?
