Select Committee on Health

Estimates for Public Services 2025
Vote 38 - Department of Health (Revised)

2:00 am

Ms Rachel Kenna:

We have had significant increases across a number of professions from a workforce planning perspective. As the Deputy will be aware from the Department of Health, we now have the capacity to deliver projected planning estimates for workforce planning. A memo was approved by the Cabinet a number of weeks ago on increasing therapy places. It included a further increase for radiation therapy of 23 places for 2025. There will be more places for 2026. In addition, we know dentistry has increased requirements and we are approving 20 additional dentistry places in the RCSI-----
