Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Pay and Conditions of Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors: Discussion
2:40 pm
Dr. Shane Considine:
Absolutely but, unfortunately, consultants have been left with a good deal of the blame on this matter. The HSE is deferring much of the responsibility for implementation of issues relating to the working time directive to consultants. Naturally, consultants are important in this process and we are keen to engage with consultants in every hospital.
