Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Consideration and Implications of 2024 Health Services Funding: Discussion
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
It was a growth of 500 this year in the grade code we call medical-dental. That includes dentists, orthodontists and consultant doctors as well. Above and net, we have grown 770 but if one strips it back - I do not know the exact figure, but Ms Hoey will have it - the number of junior doctors has grown exponentially.
