Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Pay and Conditions of Non-Consultant Hospital Doctors: Discussion

3:00 pm

Dr. Mark Murphy:

There are processes and, in fairness, the postgraduate training bodies that are responsible for our training take on opinions from NCHDs and the latter are getting involved. It is not just the HSE. The training bodies need to stand over quicker training programmes that deliver better training. It must be stated that they have a responsibility to enforce appropriate training conditions for us. They are not really doing so at present.
