The impact of the shortage of junior doctors has been flagged in the past number of years. That is not isolated to any ED or medical setting. At the moment I think there are 900 vacant consultant posts in the Irish health service. That is a huge void that will have a detrimental effect on our health service. On junior doctors in UHL, it cannot be done overnight but what effect is the shortage having on day-to-day services?
