Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Productivity and Savings Task Force: Discussion
10:00 am
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
I do not have a specific estimate because the issue was that by the time we adopted the pause on recruitment across the board, more or less, in October 2023, we were already contractually committed to a significant number of people who kept coming onto the payroll right up to the end of the year. Essentially, it did not save anything. I suppose it stopped the deficit increasing. That is probably the best way to describe it.
