Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38 - Health
Health Service Executive - Financial Statements 2021 (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Damien McCallion:

The reason I say that is that we will not resolve the recruitment issue straight away. There are very significant challenges in terms of the numbers of people coming out of our colleges for some of the therapy professions versus the numbers we need. We are looking at all measures to try to incentivise people to work in those services, and also in relation to international recruitment.

On the Deputy's specific question on clinical governance, perhaps Ms O'Neill can explain how that works in a community setting. There is a head of disability service and a structure under that.
