Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Employment of Consultants and Non-consultant Hospital Doctors in Public Hospitals: Irish Medical Organisation

Ms Vanessa Hetherington:

I just wanted to add that it is quite clear that we need to increase the number of training posts. We invite our foreign doctors into this country but do not provide the training opportunities to them that we should. There is absolutely a need to increase. I think there are posts out there that have been identified that could be converted into training posts but this has not happened yet.
