Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE
Mr. Damien McCallion:
To be clear, the approval process simply came on the back of the fact that there is now more promising information from the campaign to try to attract people. For quite some time - we looked at this before, as the Senator and others have raised it - one of the challenges in the HSE has been identifying where we can attract and recruit people from. As Mr. Canavan said, there have been more positive signs of light on that in the past month. That is the reason for those things being aligned. It was not a prospect previously for recruitment.
