Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Issues at the Emergency Department of University Hospital Limerick Raised in the HIQA Report: Discussion
Professor Colette Cowan:
Our non-consultant hospital doctors, NCHDs, or junior doctors, are one of the busiest workforces in UL Hospitals group. They do sterling work and work extensive hours to provide care to patients. We are clear we are underresourced to allow them to do their job. I will hand over to Professor Lenehan to speak about our numbers and our plans to assist our wonderful workforce.
