Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
Remuneration of Section 38 Agency Staff: Health Service Executive
3:30 pm
Mr. Ian Tegerdine:
It is not a question we are trying to answer, but it definitely is one we need to consider as we work through the development of our leadership and management strategy across the HSE which is in the very early stages of development. Balanced against the anecdotal evidence of a difficulty in recruitment is the fact that we are not holding too many vacancies which we are unable to fill. There is a balance between the anecdote and the reality. Whether the people we are recruiting are the ones we could recruit is a different question.
