Professor Brian Lenehan:

University Limerick Hospitals Group is the smallest hospitals group. We have the smallest population and the lowest number of non-consultant hospital doctors, NCHDs, and consultants. These facts conspire to create the current situation. What we have done, as an executive management team with the performance management and improvement unit and the HSE, is look inward at our processes to see how we can perform better with what we have. That is what we are doing.
