Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Ms Chris Cully:

That goes back to a point we made earlier in our submission. Health and social care professionals would feel more valued if they were involved in the planning and delivery of health services. They have a lot to contribute. They feel they are not listened to when services are being developed. That is a key thing. They should be at the centre of service planning and delivery at all levels of the Department of Health and the HSE, etc.
