Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Robert Watt:
That figure sounds right, but we will come back to the Deputy to confirm it. That is the intention. The new contract will increase the number of consultants very significantly. We hope it will make it attractive for potential recruits and new people to come into the system. The intention is to bring people back from abroad who have left Ireland who might look at a career back in our health system, and for the new recruits coming through. That number sounds about right but we will come back to the Deputy on the exact number.
