Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Workforce Planning in the Health Sector (Resumed): Discussion with Fórsa

Ms Chris Cully:

Many health and social care professionals are regulated by CORU and are required to engage in continuing professional development. They do that completely at their own cost. Other professions within the health service, which are not represented by this union, have better access to supports from their employer. They are given time off and financial support to engage in continuing professional development.
