I tabled a parliamentary question on consultant radiologists. The official HSE response was that of the 314 posts in total, 27 were vacant, or 8.5%. The Irish Hospital Consultants Association says the figure is 60 posts when some of the positions filled by locum or agency staff are included. If he has the figure, will Professor Ó Laoide confirm the number of vacant consultant radiologist posts?
