Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Staffing Levels in HSE: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Damian Ginley:

We have raised concerns in this regard. Prior to the roll-out of the new structures in the past couple of days, there was a national oversight forum in which we could raise issues centrally. We have discussions with the HSE centrally through the national joint council, as Ms Ní Sheaghdha mentioned. Under the new structures, while the national joint council will still be there, there are concerns in regard to how the national position will be implemented. Basically, there are six entities across the country, each with its own control, responsibility and authority. We have sought individual engagements, as mentioned, but there is a concern as to whether the six entities will be rowing in the same direction.
