It was helpful that Ms Ní Sheaghdha and Mr. Ginley highlighted that team element because it is frustrating when people do not understand that a plethora of people work in patient care, including clerical, administrative and all the medical staff. It was helpful to hear that on the record. When people throw out these willy-nilly comments suggesting that if we could just get rid of a certain part of the team, that would somehow resolve the health funding crisis, it is good to hear the unions say they are all part of a team that needs to work together as a whole to ensure patient care and safety.
