Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare

Health Service Reform: Private Hospitals Association

9:00 am

Mr. Brian Fitzgerald:

I came into the organisation two years ago. The vacancy rate was 10%. It was a red flag for our board. At the time, we had a new board and we were gelling a new management team. We were given a tough task to get out and find people. We went abroad and made visits, predominately to the Middle East. We went to Scotland, London and the Philippines.
