Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

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

Ms Chris Cully:

We met recently, last week or the week before, and we will meet again before the Christmas to see if we can move matters on. It is an administrative nightmare for the NRS, which is operating way above capacity. It is not about the people working in the NRS, it is that the system is not conducive to producing good turnover and linking that to the moratorium. It is just a nightmare. Ms Keogh has statistics if anyone wants them or is enthusiastic about such data.
