Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Implementation of Sláintecare Reforms: Department of Health and HSE

Mr. Bernard Gloster:

It had to go through international searching and so on before that. The security piece comes with that as part of the overall change and reform. They are challenging posts to recruit to, even despite some of the perceived downturn in the technology world, in terms of getting the right skill set. I have talked to the Secretary General about this several times in the context of the approach to the best we can do with it. I will participate in that recruitment and selection process, because they are key positions for us.
