Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Consideration and Implications of 2024 Health Services Funding: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Yes, it is improving. We still have a way to go but the simple reality is that when we have a whole load of developments working together, we will get more staff in some grades than in others and that takes up the overall profile at the end of the year. That is the simple reality. It is not a question of us having funding for an occupational therapist but going back to the Secretary General and asking if we can switch that funding to a physiotherapist. We could not manage 150,000 jobs like that.
