HSE National Service Plan 2024: Discussion
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
To be fair, there is no doubt that as people apply for posts now, they will be attracted more easily to the HSE and section 38 organisations than they might to section 39 organisations, albeit that the WRC agreement for section 39 organisations has improved that chance substantially. There will always be a variation. In some parts of the country, we are totally dependent on section 38 and section 39 organisations, such as in Cork, and in other parts of the country we are not, like Donegal. It is a very variable quantity but it is an interesting question and we will certainly get the data.
