Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE

Ms Anne Marie Hoey:

Some aspects of our services do exit surveys routinely, but not all of them. It gives us an indication of the reasons. Over the course of this year we are developing a comprehensive system for capturing reasons for leaving in terms of our turnover data. Recruitment and retention have come up for discussion a number of times this morning. Our recruitment continues to be significant. Last year alone in the context of the replacement for turnover and new development posts, the HSE recruited over 19,000 individuals.
