Joint Oireachtas Committee on Future of Mental Health Care

Mental Health Services: Discussion (Resumed)

1:30 pm

Dr. John Hillery:

If I may interrupt, with most large employers, if someone at a high level was retiring, the employer would bring in someone who would replace the individual who was due to retire and shadow them. The HSE is the largest employer in the country and we are most highly paid members of that organisation. No private business would function in that way - letting posts lapse. I apologise for interrupting the Deputy.
