Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Sláintecare Implementation: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Robert Watt:

That is in medicine and we have set out the numbers for nursing as well. It is not quite double. There are clearly elements of the plan which accept in the past there was an absence of planning. I agree it is not acceptable that we are recruiting people internationally. We need to train more of our people to work in the health system.
