Mr. Andrew Condon:

It has been taken up a number of years ago for certain specialties. One of the issues in Letterkenny and similar hospitals is the structuring of the medical workforce. Another issue mentioned was the number of training posts in Letterkenny. There is a parallel between having additional consultant numbers making sure junior doctors are in training and that people in whom one invests locally in terms of training and education come back to work in the hospital. As part of that, one of the issues we are confronting in Letterkenny is increasing the number of training posts there.
