Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Consideration and Implications of 2024 Health Services Funding: Discussion

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Yes and I am not resiling from that. For example, the budget for 2023 said please grow the grade code junior doctors are in by 500. We have grown it by 770 so far. That is the point. That is not a cut. We put in place what we said we would do and more. It is the "and more" that is causing the problem, so it is a control. I do not see it as a cut. I would see it as a cut if I reduced the additional 770 who are in place. I have not done that.
