Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Dr. Roy Browne:

In terms of locum, agency and temporary staff, with regard to the temporary posts, there is a churn in posts. People are leaving but the process of getting posts reapproved through the consultant appointment committee and funded through the CHO is very complex, therefore, that is a delay.
