Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Employment of Consultants and Non-consultant Hospital Doctors in Public Hospitals: Irish Medical Organisation
Ms Vanessa Hetherington:
Ms Clyne made the point that we are just playing catch-up. We have an expensive system but we are catching up on years of underfunding so it is going to be expensive and we must decide what it is that we want to fund. If we want a proper health system, we are going to have to put that money in. We need to look at what capital investment has gone into beds. There has not been that capital investment in beds and this has to be addressed.
