Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Employment of Consultants and Non-consultant Hospital Doctors in Public Hospitals: Irish Medical Organisation
Dr. Rachel McNamara:
They are a unique group in that to my knowledge, no other public sector employees move employers every three months while always being paid by the HSE. They have to go through the jigs and reels of setting up a new job this frequently, with all of the frustrations that go along with it. It feeds into the cycle of being thoroughly frustrated, dissatisfied and saying, "to hell with this, I will go where this does not happen".
