Colm Burke (Cork North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
Mr. Gloster accepts that we have had an increase in population of 40% in the past 23 years. Therefore, there is greater demand on services. The last thing we need is inefficiency in the system, even when we have put more money into it. Does Mr. Gloster agree that more work needs to be done on it? For example, are there checks and balances regarding who is turning up to clinics to see if an adequate number of senior people are there? You cannot leave it to nurses to do clinics when they are relying on doctors. Are checks and balances in place?
